POSTED: 22 Mar, 2023
Congratulations to Dr Matthias Guertler and team (including Dr. Nathalie Sick, Gavin Paul, Marc Carmichael, Manisha Amin, Rebecca Grace, Sazzad Hussain, Laura Tomidei, Annika Wambsganss, Victor Hernandez Moreno, and Leila Frijat) on their Cobots Work Health & Safety project completed in partnership with the NSW Centre for Work Health and Safety and funded through the NSW Workers Compensation Operational Fund.
The team have developed guidelines, methods and principles to design safe cobots and cobot workplaces. These are fantastic resources for organisation who are planning on implementing collaborative robots (“cobots”) or are curious of how to work safely with cobots in general?
The project team have created a website full of useful resources that include:
– An introduction to, and general safety information, aspects of human-cobot collaboration.
– Guidance documents to assist in the planning of an upcoming or amended workplace.
– Checklists and assessments to assess an existing or future workplace’s safety features
