  • Robotics is a key factor in smart factories (Industry 4.0).
  • Currently, achieving a safe workspace reduces the effectiveness and flexibility of robotic systems in manufacturing.
  • Currently, power and/or speed limitations or separation of the workspace are key requirements for safety standards for industrial robots.
  • Improving the effectiveness and safety of industrial robotic systems can be achieved through human-robot collaboration architectures.
