Helping to make automated workplaces safer
Robots have of course been deployed in manufacturing for many years. Many of us can picture vehicle assembly lines with robot arms seemingly performing most of the tasks with barely a human in sight. In most of these environments, robots and people are strictly segregated by safety fences. But as robots have become cheaper and more sophisticated, they are increasingly being deployed in working environments where humans and robots work in closer proximity, or even interact. More...
