    Abstract: A robotic system includes: at least one robot; a robot controller for controlling an operation of the at least one robot; a robot sensor system with at least one robot sensor, the robot sensor system being coupled to the robot controller to detect a presence of an object in a robot safety zone, which robot safety zone at least partially surrounds the at least one robot; and at least one automated vehicle for supplying the at least one robot. The at least one vehicle has at least one vehicle sensor for detecting a presence of an object in a vehicle safety zone, which vehicle safety zone at least partially surrounds the at least one vehicle. The robot controller determines an entry of the at least one vehicle into the robot safety zone. The robot controller adjusts at least a part of the robot safety zone.

    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.

    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 robot system includes: a robot arm having a plurality of links and joints by which one of the links is connected to another; sensors for determining, for any one of the joints, an angular velocity of the joint and a torque to which the joint is subject; a neural network connected to the sensors, the neural network receiving therefrom angular velocity and torque data, the neural network being trained to distinguish, based on the angular velocity and torque data, between a normal operation condition of the robot arm, a condition in which the robot arm collides with an outside object, and a condition where a person deliberately interacts with the robot arm; and a controller for controlling motion of the robot arm, a mode of operation of which is variable depending on an operation condition signal output by the neural network. One operation mode is a leadthrough mode.
