Abstract

A safety-ensuring systematic design procedure is proposed that allows service robots to be designed to perform predefined tasks in which safety is guaranteed. To cope with the safety problem, the safety target is defined, the hazards associated with predefined tasks are identified, and the risks are analyzed. In addition, the proposed method considers risk reduction measures in all steps of robot design and verifies whether the safety target is achieved. Through the use of the proposed design procedure, it is shown as an example that a care-providing robot for physically disabled people can be designed.
