摘要

News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Increasingly, we are witnessing a growing number of developments in the field of robotics characterized by their intent to integrate man and machine in a safe and functional manner. The suitability of a manipulator to work in close proximity with humans is determined first by the level of safety it can guarantee towards its human counterparts. Guaranteeing safety is a difficult if not impossible exercise as we can rarely guarantee the dependability of the numerous components required to complete a modern manipulator. Add in the human factor, and our task becomes insurmountable.
