REVIEW OF COLLABORATIVE ROBOTIC SYSTEMS AND LEGAL-SYSTEM ASPECTS OF INTERACTION WITH THEM
Abstract
Of significant interest to the robotics industry is the study of the multidisciplinary field of
human-robot interaction (HRI). Industry 4.0 (4IR) dictates the intensive implementation of robotic
solutions in all sectors of the economy and human life processes. That is why the interaction between
operator and cobot is one of the most relevant topics affecting the economy, labor market
and society as a whole. Currently, cobotics is one of the new breakthrough areas in robotics, and
due to the development of 4IR standards, cobots have a key advantage in automation, where full
replacement of human labor is impossible. This collaboration of operator and collaborative robot skills will accelerate the manufacturing process and allow companies integrating cobots to become
more competitive and minimize the process of manufacturing tasks. The purpose of the study
is to describe robotic systems and analyze the legal-system aspects of the interaction between
cobot and operator in a collaborative workspace (collaborative workspace). The objectives of the
study are: 1) general overview of collaborative robotic systems by types: tasks to be solved, work
to be performed and control; 2) consideration of existing risk assessment systems for operatorcobot
interaction. The realization of the set tasks will contribute to further research in the innovative
field of HRI, aimed at creating an environment for safe and efficient operator-cobot collaboration.
The practical value of this paper also lies in the systematic approach to consider the field
of cobotics to further explore safe collaboration scenarios. In our opinion, the most effective approach
is to analyze each specific use case of a type of robot. At the same time, we note that in the
current realities of the rapidly growing robotics sector, it is difficult to classify and unify collaborative
robotic systems into a single act.
