Why Factory Robots Fail When Humans Move Nearby
Industrial robots have mastered repetitive tasks in controlled environments, but they still struggle when humans enter the workspace. This episode explores how modern cobots use sensor fusion and real-time trajectory planning to share space safely with human operators. We examine the specific engineering challenges of collision avoidance, force limiting, and speed monitoring that allow robots to slow down or stop without halting production entirely. Featuring insights from recent safety standard updates and practical examples from automotive assembly lines where human-robot collaboration has…
