Abstract: A robot system includes a robot, the robot including a base and an end effector that is movable relative to the base; and a processing target, the processing target being approachable by the end effector along at least one preferred direction; wherein the processing target is mounted movably relative to the base at least temporarily and at least in the preferred direction.

Abstract: A system and method for testing the padding of a robotic manipulator includes at least one sensor; a processing unit; and an output unit. The at least one sensor is configured to acquire sensor data of a robotic manipulator. The at least one sensor is configured to provide the sensor data to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to determine information relating to padding applied to the robotic manipulator, wherein the determination comprises a comparison of the sensor data with reference data. The output unit is configured to output the information relating to the padding applied to the robotic manipulator.

Abstract: A distance measuring system includes: at least one emitter, which emits a frequency-variable scanning signal; at least one receiver; and an analysis unit for computing a distance to an object reflecting the scanning signal on the basis of a difference between the frequencies of the emitted and the received scanning signal. The rate of change of the frequency of the scanning signal in a first operating mode of the distance measuring system has a first finite value. The rate of change of the frequency in a second operating mode has a second finite value. The analysis unit is configured to compute a first distance on the basis of a frequency difference ascertained in the first operating mode, to compute a second distance on the basis of a frequency difference ascertained in the second operating mode, and to evaluate the correspondence between first and second computed distance.

Abstract: A method for implementing a safety configuration for a manipulator comprising an end effector comprises: a) reading an action instruction from a manipulator control program, the instruction defining at least one of a path to be followed by the end effector, a target position to be reached by the end effector, a target pose to be assumed by the end effector and an action to be carried out by a tool wielded by the end effector; b) reading at least one constraint instruction from the manipulator control program, the constraint instruction defining a constraint to be observed while carrying out an action instruction; and c) carrying out the action instruction read in step a) while respecting the constraint defined in the at least one constraint instruction, or transferring the manipulator into a safety mode if violation of the at least one constraint is detected while carrying out the action instruction.

Abstract: A robot comprises at least one articulate arm having members including a base, an end effector and a plurality of links, wherein each link is movably connected to two others of said members by respective joints, at least one sensor for detecting an external force acting on any one of the members, and a controller for controlling movements of the joints, so as to move the end effector along a pre-programmed path. In case of the sensor detecting an external force, the controller is adapted to adopt a first release strategy for escaping from the external force, to evaluate whether the first strategy is successful, and if not, to adopt a second release strategy.

Abstract: A robotic system and method includes at least one robot actively or passively mobile between at least first and second locations, and a first safety configuration being defined at least for said first location. A first data carrier associated to the first safety configuration is located in said first location, and the robot comprises a reader adapted to read the first data carrier when the robot is in said first location.
