Industry: Safety ın Human-Robot Collaboration

Abstract

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) defines a working scenario in which people and autonomous machines work and share the same workplace. The latest model, developed with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (cyber-physical system), promises highly flexible workflows, maximum system efficiency and productivity and economic efficiency. However, when HRC fulfils these promises, proper security technology is required for implementation. One of the most important robot issues associated with Industrial 4.0 Revolution is to make processes flexible. Integrating the human capability and ability to the robots offers production solutions characterized by improved run cycles, improved quality, and lower cost. However, human and robot interaction requires new security concepts that provide effective support to make production processes more flexible.
