As more and more robots are installed in the industrial sector, the statistical likelihood for accidents involving robots increases unless careful design and implementation of safety features occurs. Some worker deaths related to robot accidents have been reported in Japan. Most workers and users of robots have embarked on a safety program depending on personnel training, preventative maintenance and perimeter barriers and/or interlocks. Most of these necessary methods still do not address the issue of personnel required to be close to a robot during teaching, maintenance and troubleshooting. This paper discusses results of a research project underway at RPI to develop a computer controlled sensor system that will monitor the working envelope of a robot. If a dangerous situation occurs, this system will cause the robot to take corrective action to avoid personnel injury or damage to the robot or equipment.
