Abstract
The continuously growing rate of production and use of industrial robots has proved that, in parallel with other implementation aspects, due attention should be paid to problems related to their operational safety. Safety has to be planned and built in at the level of robot workplaces.
Although safety problems are encountered by various groups of personnel, it is mainly the programmer and the trouble-shooter who are at risk.
There are lacunae in the safety provisions which could be bridged, on the one hand, by developing more appropriate safety equipment and, on the other, by imposing minimal safety requirements upon all robots as well as by giving examples for a safe design of robot workplaces.
期刊介绍:
Robotics publishes original papers, technical reports, case studies, review papers and tutorials in all the aspects of robotics. Special Issues devoted to important topics in advanced robotics will be published from time to time. It particularly welcomes those emerging methodologies and techniques which bridge theoretical studies and applications and have significant potential for real-world applications. It provides a forum for information exchange between professionals, academicians and engineers who are working in the area of robotics, helping them to disseminate research findings and to learn from each other’s work. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to: -intelligent robotics, mechatronics, and biomimetics -novel and biologically-inspired robotics -modelling, identification and control of robotic systems -biomedical, rehabilitation and surgical robotics -exoskeletons, prosthetics and artificial organs -AI, neural networks and fuzzy logic in robotics -multimodality human-machine interaction -wireless sensor networks for robot navigation -multi-sensor data fusion and SLAM
