Abstract: Spatial regions potentially occupied by a robot (or other machinery) or portion thereof and a human operator during performance of all or a defined portion of a task or an application are computationally estimated. These “potential occupancy envelopes” (POEs) may be based on the states (e.g., the current and expected positions, velocities, accelerations, geometry and/or kinematics) of the robot and the human operator. Once the POEs of human operators in the workspace are established, they can be used to guide or revise motion planning for task execution.

Abstract: This Application regards a system for continuously monitoring a workcell during operation of industrial machinery. The system includes a safety system, a monitoring system, and a controller. The safety system includes a sensor and supporting software or hardware for acquiring image data associated with the workcell. The monitoring system is for detecting a parameter value associated with the safety system. And the controller is configured to determine whether the image data is valid based at least in part on the detected parameter value, and cause an alert to be issued responsive to determining that the image data is invalid.

Abstract: Control systems for industrial machinery (e.g., robots) or other devices such as medical devices utilize a safety processor (SP) designed for integration into safety applications and computational components that are not necessarily safety-rated. The SP monitors performance of the non-safety computational components, including latency checks and verification of identical outputs. One or more sensors send data to the non-safety computational components for sophisticated processing and analysis that the SP cannot not perform, but the results of this processing are sent to the SP, which then generates safety-rated signals to the machinery or device being controlled by the SP. As a result, the system may qualify for a safety rating despite the ability to perform complex operations beyond the scope of safety-rated components.

Abstract: In various embodiments, systems and methods for safely operating machinery such as industrial robots signal intrusions into and/or above computationally defined safeguarded volumes in a workspace during sensor monitoring of the workspace. Various related actions may be taken in response thereto, including restricting operation of the machinery and/or issuing safety or occlusion signals.
