Abstract

From early concept to present reality, this paper catalogs the development of reprogrammable, multifunctional, industrial manipulators: Robots. A summary of published studies concerning the safety aspects of the large scale application of robots by industry outside the United States is presented. From this and our own survey observations, a proposal for performance guidelines in the guarding of industrial robots is presented.
