HUMAN-ROBOT COLLABORATION PLANNING TECHNOLOGY

摘要

The invention relates to a technology for planning and implementing human-robot collaboration processes. In a planning method, a layout (32) of a work area is recorded, in which work area a human (28) and a manipulator (10) interact within a collaboration area (50). Human-robot collaboration zones (MRK1, MRK2, MRK3, MRK4) are labelled, and body zones or body parts at risk of collision are possibly indicated. Limit geometries are recorded for the manipulator and/or a manipulator attachment, and a motion plan is recorded for at least one reference point. By means of an automated evaluation module, a permissible process velocity for following the motion plan is determined. In the event of a collision between the manipulator and a human, only a permissible negative impact on the human is to be expected if the permissible process velocity is adhered to. A velocity profile is created on the basis of the determined permissible velocities.
