Abstract :
A three-level safety control scheme for a robotic workstation has been devised. In this control scheme, three levels of hazard detection and associated control strategies, which include both human sensory warnings and robot operational constraints, are employed. The hardware design that was developed to interface these sensors to the Rhino XR-2 robot controller as well as software in implementing a safety control scheme are discussed.
