Nowadays, the operation of trimming artistic bushes is generally performed by skilled human operators without any technological support. This entails that such an operation is characterized by a variability in terms of quality and that it can be performed only with adequate weather conditions. This
In industrial collaborative robotics, safety, fluency as well as productivity are among the most important requirements to implement effective applications. In this work, a generalized formulation that combines the Power and Force Limiting and the Speed and Separation Monitoring criteria is firstly
Collaborative robotics is one of the main drivers of the fourth industrial revolution. However, its introduction implies new challenges related to the mechanical risk they may represent and the psychological stress that they can induce on people. In order to reduce these risks, countermeasures like
We propose a safety control approach based on the online optimal scaling of the size of bounding volumes used as dynamic safety zones for collaborative robotics. Intersection tests between bounding volumes surrounding robot and human allow the safety controller to identify possible collisions. Our p…
Collaborative robotics is one of the main drivers of the fourth industrial revolution, where robots and humans cooperate in a shared workspace. Such robots are distinguished from the traditional robots by several features that, if tuned correctly, ensure safe physical interaction. However, interacti
