Safety standards and innovations in human-robot collaboration

July 11, 2025 by Sam Francis

The latest in sensors, programming, and risk assessment for safe collaborative deployment

Collaborative robots – or cobots – are rapidly transforming industrial automation by working safely alongside human workers.

Unlike traditional industrial robots, which are typically caged off, cobots are designed for direct interaction, enabling flexible, efficient workflows.

But as adoption grows, so too does the need for advanced safety systems, smarter programming environments, and comprehensive risk management frameworks. [Read more…] about Safety standards and innovations in human-robot collaboration

The Benefits of Cobots in Industrial Production

July 5, 2021 by Elaine

Robots in industrial production can help human employees lighten their workload and – indirectly – even protect them. item America is exploring these and other benefits of human-robot collaboration.

Although it’s nearly impossible to imagine our modern everyday lives without technical equipment, humans and machines are still often seen as rivals; however, this ‘either/or’ mindset fails to consider the valuable third option of collaboration that has become ever more important in the face of digitalization and Industry 4.0.

We’re talking about human-robot collaboration. [Read more…] about The Benefits of Cobots in Industrial Production

Human-robot collaboration in Industry 4.0

February 13, 2019 by Anna

In the ARIZ research project, Festo is working with partners to develop economical areas of application. The role of the human being in tomorrow’s production is often discussed. What new tasks will arise?

Machines and robots with extensive safety systems and suitable sensor technology enable humans and robots to move in the same work area and work together without safety barriers.

In order to increase economic efficiency, the ARIZ project has set itself the goal of establishing a flexible and versatile production assistant in safe human-machine cooperation.

Schunk is one of the leading suppliers of components to industrial robotic arm manufacturers and other industrial machinery makers. The company held an open day recently in which it outlined its vision of human-robot collaboration, or collaborative robotics, which the company says combines human and robot strengths. 

Schunk starts by asking, and then seeking to answer, the following questions:

  • How can human-robot collaboration be used in everyday production?
  • What safety concepts are there?
  • How can a successful start be made?

These and other concerns were the focus of the second Schunk user and technology dialog on the topic of “Successfully introducing human-robot collaboration in the company”.  [Read more…] about Human-robot collaboration combines human and robot strengths, says Schunk

RIA partners with OSHA and NIOSH to create unpronounceable robot group

October 9, 2017 by David Edwards

RIA-OSHA-NIOSH

 

The Robotics Industries Association is partnering with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to create a new standards body for robotics and other relevant industries. 

RIA is the main industrial robotics association in the US and was established in 1974.

OSHA and NIOSH are both government agencies – OSHA is under the Department of Labour, and NIOSH is under the Department of Health and Human Services.  [Read more…] about RIA partners with OSHA and NIOSH to create unpronounceable robot group
