Problem & Motivation Humanoid robots are dynamically stable systems. Existing safety control systems for industrial robots—which typically rely on suddenly bringing joints to a stop using brakes—do not work in this context. The robot would become a standing pendulum, fall over uncontrollably, and thus potentially cause greater danger.

The Project Solution The goal of the project is to develop an innovative, AI-based safety system for humanoid robots that enables functionally safe movement and behavior appropriate to the situation in everyday scenarios. To avoid relying on a cloud connection, all processes (such as safe human detection and behavior control) are fully integrated into a single embedded system.
