Abstract:
In recent years, human-robot collaboration has become a major focus in manufacturing and the safety standards have evolved accordingly. The first commercial expansion in human-robot collaboration is Power and Force Limited (PFL) robots, colloquially known as “collaborative robots.” But the standards also allow for other modes of interaction that rely on vision or other sensing modalities (rather than collision detection) to stop the robot before it comes in contact with people or prohibited objects. Speed & Separation Monitoring (SSM), as defined by ISO/TS 15066 and ISO 10218, is one of the modes of human-robot collaboration that allows robots to safely work near humans. To implement SSM, new vision technologies have been introduced. SSM systems can make large industrial robots aware of their environments, creating countless new opportunities for human-robot collaboration in manufacturing. In this talk, Patrick Sobalvarro will offer a deep dive into machine vision technologies, such as custom time-of-flight sensors and 3D vision techniques and algorithms that allow for safe, effective human-robot collaboration. Attendees will gain an understanding of:
- The safe vision technology that implements Speed and Separation Monitoring to achieve dynamic, effective human-robot collaboration
- The architecture of the technology and the differences from typical machine vision applications
- Real customer feedback about use case implementation
Speakers
Patrick Sobalvarro CEO and Co-Founder Veo Robotics Patrick Sobalvarro is the co-founder and CEO of Veo Robotics, the creators of FreeMove®, a comprehensive 3D safeguarding system for industrial robotics that enables dynamic human-robot collaboration. FreeMove received functional safety certification in April 2021, making it a first-of-its-kind technology that deploys dynamic, 3D Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) for safeguarding in a manufacturing workcell.
Patrick has more than twenty-five years of experience in computer vision, robotics, and industrial automation. Prior to founding Veo Robotics, Patrick was the first Entrepreneur in Residence at Siemens Venture Capital, focusing on the creation of the vision behind Veo. He also served as the VP of New Growth Platforms for Avery Dennison, building a new business line in RFID-based IoT products; was President of Rethink Robotics, creators of collaborative manufacturing robot Baxter; and founded and led the computer vision startup IntelliVid to its acquisition by Tyco International.
Originally trained as a computer scientist, Patrick holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
