As robots evolve and increasingly interact with humans, enhancing the safety of personnel working with these “collaborative robots” (cobots) is vital. This course equips you to assess the safety of a collaborative robot workcell and prevent the chances of injury or harm. It imparts industry-endorsed safety standards, technical report recommendations and best practices from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Robotic Industries Association (RIA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Learners are introduced to similarities and differences between traditional robots, cobots and conventional machinery before delving into risk assessments, causes of robot accidents and collaborative applications. Material also includes key design techniques for reducing collision forces and a methodology for safety testing.

TOP REVIEWS FROM COLLABORATIVE ROBOT SAFETY: DESIGN & DEPLOYMENT
It was an excellent knowledge gathering exercise. The course was well structured and there is good level of guidance for learning and implementation in the course.
Up to date learning for today's manufacturing environment.
Good course, a lot of useful and helpful information, but it is quite superficial and lacks practical challenges.
Please Provide more Visual notes and points like a slide show while speaking.
