Abstract | The advent of Industry 4.0 has revolutionized industrial manufacturing, with human-robot collaboration (HRC) playing a pivotal role in enhancing productivity and flexibility within smart factories. This shift toward intelligent manufacturing requires rethinking traditional safety procedures, as the strict separation of human and robot workspaces is removed. In response, industrial robotics has seen significant changes in safety standards over the past decade, leading to extensive research aimed at preventing human-robot collisions and mitigating the risks associated with them. This review paper examines the key safety systems implemented in industrial robotic environments, highlighting developments in safety regulations and emerging technologies designed to ensure safe collaboration. The paper discusses multidisciplinary approaches such as collision prevention systems, impact detection technologies, and methods for evaluating injuries resulting from human-robot interactions. Additionally, the paper reviews the ISO 15066 standard, outlining the challenges of aligning design safeguards with hazard analysis and risk assessment in collaborative robotic workspaces. The review emphasizes the importance of creating safer human-robot collaborations to facilitate the broader adoption of flexible and intelligent automation in industry. |
