Experimental result of the collision detection of a robot manipulator

An industrial manipulator has been developed. The purpose of the development of the manipulator was the easy and safe human-robot cooperation. Most of the industrial robot manipulator can harm the operator near the robot systems when the manipulator is doing cooperative motion with the human operator. But the developed manipulator is safe even when the manipulator is working in the workspace shared with the human operator. In this experiment, the experimental results for the safety of the developed manipulator will be shown.
