Robot Safety Monitoring using Programmable Light Curtains
A controllable depth sensor creates a moving envelope around robots and detects intrusion, with sensor placement optimized for visibility. A manufacturing testbed with four arms demonstrates the approach. Coverage, occlusion and safety-rated response still need installation-specific verification.
