Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A patent application by the inventors Blom,Jonatan (Enskede,SE); Falco,Pietro (Vasteras,SE); Larsson,Jonas (Vaste ras,SE),filed on February 4,2021,was made available online on March 14,2024 ,according to news reporting originating from Washington,D.C.,by NewsRx corre spondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "Many robots are today expected to work in unstr uctured environments where not only inanimate moving obstacles but also humans a re present. Examples of such environments are hospitals and unstructured manufac turing environments. A robot may for example be designed to share a workspace wi th a human for collaboration work. Humans have an excellent capability of solvin g imprecise exercises while a robot exhibits precision,power,and endurance. "Skepticism often exists among humans against working in close proximity to robo ts. For example,a human with little robot experience is likely scared if a robo t makes a fast movement and then a sudden stop in immediate vicinity to the huma n. Although such control of the robot may have a high real safety,the perceived safety is low. It is therefore of great value to provide not only a high real s afety of the robot,but also a high perceived safety. An optimal offline-planned trajectory for the robot is not sufficient to fulfill a task of both real safet y and perceived safety for humans without substantially lowering productivity.
