Abstract
A method for stopping a manipulator includes the steps of advance simulation of stopping distances for different states and/or braking force profiles of the manipulator, estimating of an upper limit as the stopping distance on the basis of the stopping distances simulated in advance, monitoring a zone, and decelerating the manipulator when a zone is violated, wherein the monitored zone is defined variably during operation on the basis of the stopping distance of the manipulator.
