“…The use of simulation for analysis of safetycritical systems is well-researched [15]. However, in the domain of robot safety, simulation-based approaches are usually employed on a component-rather than a systemlevel, for example to verify control code or control strategies [16]- [19]. Askarpour et al recently presented a cosimulation approach which couples SAFER-HRC with the simulator MORSE [20].…”

In human-robot collaborative assembly, robots are often required to dynamically change their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace. However, the robots used today are controlled by pre-generated rigid codes that cannot support effective human-robot collaboration. In response to this need, multi-modal yet symbiotic communication and control methods have been a focus in recent years. These methods include voice processing, gesture recognition, haptic interaction, and brainwave perception. Deep learning is used for classification, recognition and context awareness identification. Within this context, this keynote provides an overview of symbiotic human-robot collaborative assembly and highlights future research directions.

Assessing the safety of collaborative robot (cobot) systems is a difficult task due to the myriad of possible interactions between robots and operators, and the potential for injury to the operators. Using a situation coverage approach we can define the individual components of such interactions, and thereby describe the problem space and the coverage achieved when testing it. In this paper, we propose a situation coverage approach for testing the safety of a cobot system. Our approach suggests using a combination of safety analysis techniques and simulation-based testing to define situations of interest and explore hazardous situations while only endangering virtual operators. We challenge our assumptions by applying our method to an example based on a realworld use-case. The proposed metrics, if they provide no advantage to guided test generation techniques over random ones, helped us trim the generated configuration landscape to identify safety gaps.
