ROS 기반 UWB 통신 기술을 이용한 협동로봇 안전관리 시스템

초록

This paper proposes a safety management system for collaborative robots using Ultra-Wideband communication based on Robot Operating System. Collaborative robots are robots that work together with humans, and it is very important to ensure the safety of workers. The proposed system utilizes UWB communication to estimate the location of the worker. Based on the estimated location information, it controls the speed of the robot according to the distance between the worker and the robot to ensure the safety of the worker. Simulations and experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The experimental results show that when the operator enters the working area of the robot, the speed of the robot can be reduced by 10 times, effectively ensuring the safety of the operator. This suggests that the ROS-based UWB communication technology presented here is expected to contribute to supporting robot operations in industrial environments, ensuring both safety and efficiency.
