Abstract [en]

Collaborative robots are a new type of robot that unlike industrial robots are to be used in close relation to humans without physical walls. Due to this, high demands are placed on the safety of collaborative robots as people must not be harmed. To verify the safety between robot and human, collision measurements are made. For the past 10 years, the number of published articles dealing with Human RobotCollaboration has gone from almost none to approximately 3000 published articles per year. It can also be seen that research on collisions together with cooperation between robots and humans has increased during the same period but not at all in the same size. The thesis is made together with Scania which is a truck manufacturer in Sweden. Scania has its own requirements for safety around collaborative robots and they require that collision measurements in the form of pressure and force take place during each implementation of a collaborative robot. The purpose is to provide a broader knowledge of collaborative robots and their safety. To provide knowledge of how collision measurements should be made and with which tools. Using a spiral development model, several practical measurements were performed on a collaborative robot. Other methods used were interviews, literature study, calculations and benchmarking. The results show that the values set in the robot do not always correspond to those obtained during practical feeds. It uses the robot to show permissible forces in a collaborative position, but also many impermissible force measurements have taken place at different switches and at different speeds. The distance between the robot's base and the robot’s arm where the collision cuts make a great impact on the measurements and show that it can be a danger. Running a collaborative robot at high speeds without external safety equipment also demonstrates risks. Pressure measurements show a large uncertainty of the result and the result is also above the permissible limit in several cases. The impermissible pressures indicate danger for people to work in close contact with collaborative robots. The high difference in the measurement result is only for pressure measurements and the result at 100measurements over force gave a low variation.
