Cobot
Collaborative robot designed to interact directly with humans in a shared workspace, integrating sensors and advanced safety algorithms to prevent collisions.
Force-Torque Sensor
Sensor measuring the forces and torques exerted by the robot on its environment, essential for detecting unexpected contacts and adjusting trajectory in real time.
Collaborative Workspace
Delimited area where human operators and robots can work simultaneously in complete safety, supervised by presence detection systems and distance management.
Power and Force Limiting
Safety principle according to which contact forces between robot and human are maintained below injury thresholds, in accordance with ISO/TS 15066 standards.
Speed and Separation Monitoring
Collaborative safety method where the robot adjusts its speed based on the distance from the operator, stopping completely when the distance becomes critical.
Manual Guidance
Functionality allowing an operator to manually guide the cobot to teach it trajectories, with the robot moving under direct human control.
Controlled Safety Stop
Controlled emergency stop where the robot maintains its power but immobilizes its movements, allowing for quick and safe resumption of operation.
ISO/TS 15066
International technical standard specifying safety requirements for collaborative robotics, defining force limits and authorized collaboration methods.
HRC - Human-Robot Collaboration
Interaction paradigm where robots and humans share tasks in a continuous workflow, complementing their respective capabilities to optimize productivity.
Collaborative Operation
Robotic operating mode where traditional physical safeguards are replaced by active monitoring systems and collision prevention algorithms.
Dual-Arm Cobot
Robotic architecture with two independent coordinated arms, enabling complex manipulations and simulation of bilateral human cooperation.
Collaborative Gripper
End effector equipped with tactile sensors and force control, designed to manipulate objects in human presence without risk of injury.
Proximity Sensor
Non-contact detection device identifying the presence and distance of objects or people in the robot's immediate environment.
Collision Detection
Algorithmic and sensory system identifying unexpected contacts in real-time, triggering immediate stop or trajectory modification to prevent injuries.
Trajectory Planning Algorithm
Set of mathematical rules optimizing the robot's path while avoiding obstacles and respecting speed and collaborative safety constraints.
Learning Pendant
Manual programming interface allowing operators to configure and program cobots intuitively without extensive robotics programming knowledge.
Payload
Maximum mass that the cobot can safely handle while maintaining its accuracy and speed performance according to specifications.
Repeatability
Robot's ability to accurately return to the same position during repeated cycles, an essential criterion for collaborative applications requiring high precision.
End Effector
Device attached to the end of the robot arm performing the final task, varying according to the application: gripping, welding, assembly, or inspection.
Collaborative Safety Zone
Virtual space delimited by sensors where the robot adapts its behavior based on human presence, transitioning between normal and slow modes or stop.
