Robot safety standards defines Collaborative Operation as a state in which purposely designed robots work in direct cooperation with a human within a defined workspace. That is, an operator and an industrial robot complete assembly tasks at the collaborative workspace. A prerequisite to ensuring safety during all phases of operation is an understanding of the nature of hazards pertinent to collaborative systems. An automotive assembly station, where plastic panels are assembled on a continuously moving line, formed the basis for research operations meant to understand safety issues when a large industrial robot aids an operator in assembly tasks. This led to the development of a laboratory demonstrator whose design and functioning will be presented in this article. Additionally, the hazards identified during risk assessment along with measures to mitigate the associated risks will be presented in order to highlight the nature of hazards pertinent to collaborative systems.

机器人安全标准将“协作操作”定义为一种状态，在这种状态下，经过精心设计的机器人会在定义的工作空间内与人类直接合作。即，操作员和工业机器人在协作工作区完成组装任务。在操作的所有阶段中确保安全的前提是了解与协作系统有关的危害的性质。一个汽车装配站，其中的塑料面板装配在一条连续的生产线上，构成了研究操作的基础，旨在理解当大型工业机器人协助操作员完成装配任务时的安全问题。这导致了实验室演示器的开发，该演示器的设计和功能将在本文中介绍。另外，
