CRAOS – Collaborative Robots Applied in Open Spaces
The aim of CRAOS is to develop procedures for guiding safety validation of collaborative robots in open spaces, in particular exhibitions and trade fairs. The reason for focusing on this specific domain of application is that robots in public spaces impose higher risks of unintended human-robot contacts compared to well-studied shop floor applications. In addition, collaborative robots in public spaces are difficult to validate, as relevant standards and directives are not sufficiently applicable. The proposed outcome of this COVR Award are two protocol drafts - for collaborative serial robot systems and sensitive mobile manipulator systems respectively - to identify requirements satisfying safety conformity in open spaces.
