Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system and method for verifying robot data that is used by a safety system monitoring a workspace shared by a human and robot. One or more sensors monitoring the workspace are arranged to obtain a three-dimensional view of the workspace. Raw data from each of the sensors is acquired and analyzed to determine the positioning and spatial relationship between the human and robot as both move throughout the workspace. This captured data is compared to the positional data obtained from the robot to assess whether discrepancies exist between the data sets. If the information from the sensors does not sufficiently match the data from the robot, then a signal from the system may be sent to deactivate the robot and prevent potential injury to the human.
