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.

The purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “limit range of movement” for grippers of industrial robots. In this context, the skill “limit range of movement” is often used to avoid the possibility of clamping a part of an operator body dur ing robot operations, typically pick and place tasks. The validation protocol is aimed at verifying gripper working when limits are set, by the use of Gauge blocks.

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 volu me. ing.

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 volu me. The range of motion is assessed using tached to the robot .

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 highest pressure 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 inter-action 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 highest pressure during the collision.

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 gait support using an instrumented limb used in the medical domain as well as at . This protocol is both aimed at exoskeletons exoskeletons used in the industrial, logistics or agricultural domain Readiness Level Description .

The purpose of this protocol is to validate the safety skill “maintain safe distance” for hand-guided robots, eventually equipped with tracking technologies and collision avoidance controllers, where a limb of a subject has a free connection point with the robot and the robot can move that point within a 3D volume while preventing collision with the operator’s limbs. The minimum distance between robot internal links and subject limbs during operation must be ensured. This is validated using an instrumented limb attached to the robot end effector and a sensor system mounted on the robot.

IEC 61784-3:2021 explains some common principles that can be used in the transmission of safety-relevant messages among participants within a distributed network which use fieldbus technology in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61508 (all parts) for functional safety. These principles are based on the black channel approach. They can be used in various industrial applications such as process control, manufacturing automation and machinery.

This document gives guidance for measuring forces and pressures in human-robot collision. It summarizes the findings of a research projects and supports the interpretation of results from such measurements.
