Abstract
A method for controlling the operation of a robot within a system. The system includes the robot and sensors to analyze the concentric environment of the system. The sensors include a contact sensor, a proximity sensor and a vision and location sensor. For each of the axes of the robot, a maximum allowable force value is obtained. If the force on one of the axes of the robot is greater than the maximum value, the robot is stopped in its position. A concentric monitoring space or a security space is obtained as a function of the speed of the robot. The environment of the robot is monitored by the sensors. If the intrusion of an object is detected in the safe space of the robot, the maneuvering speed of the robot is gradually decreased to a safe speed. The process is repeated for the next axis of the robot.
