Source overview
The article examines injury mechanisms through robot impact studies and analysis of constrained contact. It is a historical research reference for considering mass, speed and the circumstances of human contact.
Use and review
The publisher provides an abstract with restricted full-text access. Results concern the tested robots and conditions in the 2009 study. Current standards and application-specific contact hazards require their own assessment.
