Calculate a Pressure Applied by a Robot

In a robotic risk assessment process your goal is to predict (or at least try to predict) the possible impact that can occur in the use of a robot. In the case of a collaborative robot, you want to consider the potential impact that can occur when the robot is working alongside the worker. As the ISO/TS 15066 has rated and ranked allowable forces and pressure for different body parts, it is now easier to determine if the impact will be harmful or not for the human. Before doing so you need to determine a couple of parameters. The following video explains how an impact pressure is calculated.
