Source overview
A danger-index method allocates design effort among safety measures and shapes a manipulator’s approach toward a person. The author manuscript demonstrates the proposed design/control optimization through numerical analysis.
Use and review
The reviewed evidence is numerical or simulation based. Physical robot behavior, perception failures and implementation timing require separate validation.
