Zusammenfassung

In future factories, new potentials rise with the possibility of direct interaction between humans and robots. Thereby the safety of human workers while collaborating with machines is of utmost importance. This contribution focusses on safety aspects arising by the end effector for handling applications. Presented is an approach to perceive the environment by an integrated LiDAR system to prevent possible collisions by alternating the trajectory from the endeffectors perspective. Several different sensor systems are discussed and evaluated before the chosen design is examined. Furthermore, two different methods to ensure a safe distance between human, workpiece and gripper are evaluated. Accordingly, a suitable control architecture for the guidance of the robot through the end effector is presented.
