33 - Risk Assessment and Safety Review of Collaborative Robots and AMRs: Methodology and Case Studies (Room 30A)

New and sophisticated robotic applications are developing rapidly. Collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots, and changing uses for conventional robots continue as the top growth solutions to keep pace and maximize safety and efficiency. However, the applicability of existing safety regulations/industry consensus standards are challenged. In this session, you’ll hear about real-world case studies, including safety requirements for new robotic products development, and the methods/findings of robotic risk assessments conducted for high-tech, warehousing, and research and development labs.
