AI Technical Summary
Collaborative robots face challenges in distinguishing between external forces caused by collisions and dynamic characteristics, leading to malfunctions and requiring time-consuming adjustments of collision sensitivity by professionals, making it difficult to set sensitivity levels suitable for varying work environments.
A method for automatically setting collision sensitivity involves calculating an average value of torque-related data, selecting a maximum value, and determining a collision threshold value based on the sensitivity level and speed levels, using a system with a collision-sensitivity setting unit, communicator, data collector, and operator to adjust sensitivity levels through a user interface.
Enables easy and convenient adjustment of collision sensitivity suitable for work environments, allowing non-professionals to set sensitivity levels effectively, ensuring safe operation of collaborative robots.
