What are the Present Safety Requirements for Collaborative Robots?

Upgrading the standards to include collaborative robots allowed certain, especially smaller robots, to be unchained from the factory floor where they were previously caged for safety reasons and allowed to be mobile. This means that they can be brought out into small and medium sized workshops where they can work alongside humans, using the full potential of their hardware and software improvements and expanding their market potential along the way. This is a great step towards efficient industrial automation for these small and medium sized firms.
