COVR

The specific purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “limit interaction energy” by measurement. Its scope is limited to robot arms operating in the domain Manufacturing. In this context, the skill “limit interaction energy” is often used to protect workers from injuries caused by robot collisions where the robot hits a part of the human body that can freely move. The validation of this protocol requires that the reader has a bio-fidel force and pressure measurement device available. The instrument must allow for measuring the pressure history during the collision.

The specific purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “limit interaction energy” by measurement. Its scope is limited to robot arms operating in the domain Manufacturing. In this context, the skill “limit interaction energy” is often used to protect workers from injuries caused by robot collisions where the robot traps a part of the human body against a fixed obstacle. The validation of this protocol requires that the reader has a bio-fidel force and pressure measurement device available. The instrument must allow for measuring the pressure history during the collision.

The purpose of this protocol is to verify the ability of the robotic system to limit its movements in 3D space. In this version of the protocol, it is checked that the robot, with all its segments and end effector, does not pass beyond a vertical plane placed in the robotic cell. The validation test is performed using a moving frame representing the vertical plane or part of it.

The purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “limit range of movement” for rehabilitation robots, where a limb of a subject has a connection point with the robot (either free or restrained) and the robot can move that point within a 3D volume. The range of motion is assessed using opto-electronic 3D marker tracking.

The specific purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “maintain safe distance” by measurement. Its scope is limited to robot arms operating in the domain Manufacturing and Logistics. The validation of this protocol requires that the reader has a device to measure one dimensional braking distance and stopping time.

The specific purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “limit interaction energy” by measurement for robotic grippers. In this context, the skill “limit interaction energy” is commonly used to protect workers from injuries caused by clamping and squeezing of body parts by the closing gripper. The validation of this protocol requires that the reader has a bio-fidelic measurement instrument available to measure contact forces and pressures.

This protocol is to be used to test the restraining energy that can be applied to a human subject during use of an exoskeleton used for upper limb support. This protocol is both aimed at exoskeletons used in the medical domain as well as at exoskeletons used in the industrial, logistic or agricultural domain.
