By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntors DENENBERG, Scott (Newton, MA, US); Moel, Alberto (Cambridge, MA, US); Soba lvarro, Patrick (Harvard, MA, US); Vu, Clara (Cambridge, MA, US), filed on Janua ry 25, 2024, was made available online on May 23, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Traditional machinery for manufacturing and other industrial applications has been supplanted by, or supplemented with, new forms of automati on that save costs, increase productivity and quality, eliminate dangerous, labo rious, or repetitive work, and/or augment human capability. For example, industr ial robots possess strength, speed, reliability, and lifetimes that may far exce ed human potential. The recent trend toward increased human-robot collaboration in manufacturing workcells imposes particularly stringent requirements on robot performance and capabilities. Conventional industrial robots are dangerous to hu mans and are usually kept separate from humans through guarding-e.g., robots may be surrounded by a cage with doors that, when opened, cause an electrical circu it to place the machinery in a safe state. Other approaches involve light curtai ns or two-dimensional (2D) area sensors that slow down or shut off the machinery when humans approach it or cross a prescribed distance threshold. These systems disadvantageously constrain collaborative use of the workspace.
