Apparatus and method for determining time data for a human-robot cooperation system

摘要

A device (200) for planning a human-robot cooperation (MRK) process to be executed by an MRK system (100) comprising at least one robot (110) and at least one human (120) is described. includes. The device (200) is set up to determine at least one process step (201) which is to be executed by the robot (110) during the execution of the MRK process. The apparatus (200) is further configured to determine trajectory information related to a trajectory to be executed by the robot (110) for the process step. The device (200) can determine, based on the trajectory information, at least one contact region (121) on the human body (120) which the robot (110) could touch in the execution of the process step. In addition, the device (200) is set up to determine at least one permissible movement parameter for the robot (110) in the execution of the process step as a function of the determined contact region (121). Furthermore, the device (200) is arranged to determine time data (203) based on the trajectory information and on the basis of the permissible motion parameter with respect to a time duration of execution of the process step.
