Innovations in Robotics and Evolving Safety Standards Examined in New White Paper
01/18/10 11:15 AM
Rockwell Automation releases a new white paper entitled “International Safety Standards Keep Pace With Advances in Robotic Technology and Applications” that examines the major innovations in robotics and robotic systems, including cableless teach pendants, human-robot collaboration, robot-to-robot synchronization and vision-based safeguarding systems, that new safety standards will address for the first time. Major advances in microprocessor and artificial-intelligence techniques, along with innovations in automation and control systems, are ushering in a new age of robotics, in which once-futuristic visions are becoming realities. Despite these breakthrough applications – in areas ranging from manufacturing to medicine – robots carry risk. Without the proper precautions in place, a robot experiencing a fault or failure might cause serious injuries to people and damage to capital equipment in or around the…
