Robot Speed Adaption in Multiple Trajectory Planning and Integration in a Simulation Tool for Human-Robot Interaction

摘要

Abstract Speed and separation monitoring (SSM) is one of the four permissible collaborative operations in human-robot interaction (HRI). At all times, it must be ensured that the speed-dependent separation distance is maintained. To guarantee this, the robot speed or the robot path can be adapted. In this paper, the robot speed adaption for multiple trajectories is implemented in an HRI simulation tool and tested in an application example. Thereby, numerous complex process situations, such as a temporary robot stop or obstacles in the collaborative workspace, can be simulated. The simulation tool enables a comprehensive simulation, analysis and optimisation of human and robot motions within the HRI, already in the planning phase.
