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
excellent course , and this course really enhance my knowledge and give me new area for deeply study of cobots . I thank full to all professors and his team . regards
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.
learned so much about different types of robots from this course which will help me in my graduation in btech mechanical....thank you so much
covers intermediate level of ISO 12100 safety of machinery standard with practical industrial examples of robots and new inoovative cobots
