Method for monitoring manipulator area, particularly for robot, involves presetting geometric limit of area to be monitored and monitoring object within predetermined limit by environment sensing unit

摘要

The method involves presetting a geometric limit (WS) of the area to be monitored and monitoring an object within the predetermined limit by an environment sensing unit. The limit is predetermined on the basis of a detected environment or a kinematics of the manipulator in a partially automatic manner. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for monitoring a manipulator area, particularly for a robot; and (2) a computer program product with a program code for executing a monitoring method.
