Pain-threshold experiments with robot covers and stopping
The1997 study combines a viscoelastic cover, contact sensing and disturbance-observer stopping on a two-link robot. Its abstract reports human-contact experiments within the study’s pain criterion and an additional speed-reduction mechanism.

Source overview
The1997 study combines a viscoelastic cover, contact sensing and disturbance-observer stopping on a two-link robot. Its abstract reports human-contact experiments within the study’s pain criterion and an additional speed-reduction mechanism.
Use and review
Contact results apply to the described mechanism, controller and test conditions. They do not establish universal human injury thresholds or a certified protective function.
