Abstract:

The principle of safe working based on the safe confirmation is clarified in order to realize such a robot for construction work that can share the working space with human workers. For this purpose, a monitoring system and an intrinsically safe actuator using sensor are prepared for the constructing robot, and a safety control which can allow safe contact with human workers by integrating such system and actuator is realized.
