Abstract

Safety is critical to human-robot collaborative assembly, both locally and remotely. This has led to the monitoring of shop floor operators through tradition cameras and safety scanners. There are two main drawbacks in this kind of approach: the first is the limitation of the sensing devices which usually sense the environment from one perspective and in two dimensions only, and the second is the lack of flexibility in safety systems which usually triggers emergency stops in case of any intrusions. Such problems can be solved by using depth cameras installed carefully in the robotic environment. The advantage of this approach is the ability to install multiple depth cameras and fuse the 3D point clouds in one central server. This chapter first presents the latest accomplishments in active collision avoidance through local human-robot collaboration. A remote robotic assembly system is then introduced in the second half of the chapter.
