Human-Robot Collaboration - Collaborative Robots and Vision Systems

In the short term history of robotics, a few key points have been observed about the integration of robots in the work place. The first point we will look at is rigid automation, which consists of a fixed path followed by an industrial robot. This kind of automation is still used in manufacturing lines where security devices are implanted or where heavy loads are transported in the robot working area. The security features are usually security cages and pressure sensors that can stop the robot if an impact is detected.
