Worker selection of safe speed and idle condition in simulated monitoring of two industrial robots / Waldemar Karwowski and Mansour Rahimi

Sumario: The main objective of the research project was to study human perceptual aspects of hazardous robotics workstations. Two laboratory experiments were designed to investigate workers' perceptions of two industrial robots with different physical configurations and performance capabilities. Experiment 1 investigated the maximum speed of robot arm motions that workers, who were experienced with operation of industrial robots, judged to be safe for monitoring tasks. Experiment 2 investigated the minimum value of robot idle time perceived by industrial workers as system malfunction, and an indication of the safe-to approach condition
