A system for increasing safety during robot-human collaborations in a manufacturing environment, the system comprising:
- at least one wearable device for use by a human worker;
- an industrial robot in operative communication with the at least one wearable device;
- wherein the industrial robot is equipped to detect location of the human worker using the at least one wearable device.
A method for increasing safety during robot-human collaborations in a manufacturing environment, the method comprising:
- providing a wearable device;
- providing an industrial robot;
- determining relative position between the wearable device and the industrial robot;
- and
- altering operation of the industrial robot when the relative position between the wearable device and the industrial robot is less than a threshold.
A system for increasing safety during robot-human collaborations in a manufacturing environment, the system comprising:
- at least one wearable device for use by a human worker;
