Abstract

Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) has attracted high attention in modern manufacturing. Recently, a safety standard for collaborative robots has been launched (ISO/TS 15066). It cover the safety function of Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) which includes velocities and positions of the human and the robot. However, risk should be discussed with probability, while the SSM is not. Therefore, the probability of intrusion was calculated according to the stopping time of the robot and the maximum speed of the robot. Since the SSM was testified along the simulation by far, actual adhesive applying task was carried out in this paper.
