The purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “maintain safe distance” for hand-guided robots, eventually equipped with tracking technologies and collision avoidance controllers, where a limb of a subject has a free connection point with the robot and the robot can move that point within a 3D volume while preventing collision with the operator’s limbs. The minimum distance between robot internal links and subject limbs during operation must be ensured. This is validated using an instrumented limb attached to the robot end effector and a sensor system mounted on the robot.

The purpose of this protocol is to validate suitability of 3D sensors, particularly LiDAR scanners, for improving the skill “Maintain Safe Distance” in advanced Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) cobot applications . Besides the sensors’ technical characteristics, the data processing, and decision-making abilities of an associated intelligent control system (ICS) are the subject of validation. Such ICS periodically acquires of a COBOT and an operator, eventually predicts their positions in a the positions near future, and adjusts the COBOT’s velocity to keep their mutual distance above the accordingly updated protective separation distance (PSD). The validation test checks with assistance of a high-speed high-resolution camera whether the ICS implements the SSM functionality successfully to prevent collisions between the robot and the operator in a systematically chosen repertoire of collaborative situations identified as potentially hazardous in the risk assessment. This protocol was developed in the COVR funded FSTP project “CobotSense” by FOKUS TECH, the Maribor, and FANUC ADRIA, and was published as a deliverable for that project.

This document gives guidance for measuring forces and pressures in human-robot collision. It summarizes the findings of a research projects and supports the interpretation of results from such measurements.

IEC 62714-1:2018 is a solution for data exchange focusing on the domain of automation engineering. The data exchange format defined in the IEC 62714 series (Automation Markup Language, AML) is an XML schema based data format and has been developed in order to support the data exchange in a heterogeneous engineering tools landscape. The goal of AML is to interconnect engineering tools in their different disciplines, e.g. mechanical plant engineering, electrical design, process engineering, process control engineering, HMI development, PLC programming, robot programming, etc. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) use of CAEX 3.0 according to IEC 62424:2016b) improved modelling of references to documents outside of the scope of the present standard,c) modelling of references between CAEX attributes and items in external documents,d) revised role libraries,e) modified Port concept,f) modelling of multilingual expressions,g) modelling of structured attribute lists or array,h) a new AML container format,i) a new standard AML attribute library
