Hazard Identification
Risk assessment should consider all potential contacts and foreseeable misuse between robot and operator.
Operator's neck, face and head should not be exposed in case of collision. Without using peripheral safety
devices, the robot needs to perform a risk assessment first to determine whether the risk is unacceptable,
such as:
• The risk of using a sharp end-effector or tool connector;
• The risk of processing toxic or other hazardous substances;
• Fingers being caught by robot base or joint;
• The risk of being hit by manipulator;
• The danger due to incompletely fix of manipulator or connected tool;
• Danger due to impact between a heavy payload and a solid surface.
Integrators must measure these dangers and its associated risk level through a risk assessment. Identify and
implement appropriate measures to reduce the risk to acceptable level. However, Integrators should be aware
that specific robotic equipment may have other dangers.
Combine the inherent safety design which applied by AUBO robot with the safety specifications or risk
assessment performed by integrators and users, risks that are associated with AUBO-i5 collaborative
operation should be lower to reasonable and practicable level. Any residual risks before installing will be
conveyed to integrators and users through this manual. If integrator's risk assessment shows that there may
have unacceptable risks in specific applications, integrators must take appropriate risk reduction measures
to eliminate or minimize these risks to acceptable level. It is not safe to use before taking appropriate risk
reduction measures (If necessary).
If perform no cooperative installation (for example, when using dangerous tools), risk assessment may infer
that integrators need to connect additional security devices (such as a boot device) when it is programming
to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
