Method for Automatically Setting Up a Safety Function Configuration for a Robot Device

A computer program product comprising instructions which, when the computer program is executed by a computer processor, causes the computer to perform a method for automatically setting up a safety function configuration for a robot device, comprising:

• instructions for obtaining a distance information, wherein the distance information is a distance between at least one moving part of the robot device and a defined position point in an environment of the robot device;
• instructions for comparing the distance information with a minimum gap criterion that defines a minimum distance between the at least one moving part of the robot device and the defined position point in the environment of the robot device;
• and
• instructions for automatically determining a corresponding safety function configuration for the robot device in a dedicated workspace area depending on a deviation of the distance information and the minimum gap criterion.
