There is an increasing need to have a safety system, which allows safe collaboration of operators and industrial robots. Industrial robots are powerful and therefore dangerous impacts and crashes need to be prevented by keeping safe distance between moving robot and the operator. Safe distance can be achieved by monitoring the position and speed of the robot and the position of the operator. Separation distance, speeds and performance of the control system, sensors and actuators are regulated by standards, which must be followed. VTT has developed a dynamic safety system, which monitors the speed and separation between persons and the robot in order to keep the stopping distance of the robot small enough to avoid impacts. The dynamic safety system enables safe continuous working beside the robot and automated restarting after a safety-rated monitored stop. An assistance system is applied to switch safety modes of the robot according to separation distance. Configuring and validating the safety system are safety-critical and time-consuming phases of design. Therefore, a configuration tool is required to get a coherent configuration, which support validation process.

One of the main trends in industrial robotics is collaboration between human and robot. Collaboration is applied especially in the field of assembly tasks. The current automation technology is not at the level that could ensure demanding tasks. These tasks are often associated with actions requiring human skills. Many manufacturers of industrial robot offer a solution in a form of a collaborative robot. These robots represent new opportunities for industry. In order to further develop the area of collaborative robotics, it is necessary to look for new technologies. This article deals with design of method which is based on open source platform. The method is applied to solve a real assembly task.

“…In the case of product variability, the processes should be similar so that task programs and algorithms can be adapted in the case of product variability. [1] The requirements of the current market are associated with high demands on the variability and diversity of products. As a result, the product range is expanding, and the batch sizes are lower.…”

In the conditions of strong market competition and everincreasing customer requirements, there is a need to produce more types of products in smaller batches. Robotic systems often cannot meet the demands of such flexibility, and therefore some operations can only be performed by humans. One solution to achieve the required flexibility is to combine an appropriate level of automation with human skills. The general importance and reason for cooperation with robots is related to the need and possibility of combining repeated and controlled performance of robots with the skills and reactive abilities of operators. In general, humans have an excellent ability to perform tasks in an unstructured and inaccurate environment, while robots perform tasks with precision, power, and control.
