• Project acronym: HARRY${}^2$

• Project title: Highly sAfe Robot integRation for the industrY througH an Advanced contRol and monitoRing strategY

• Duration: 2019/07 – 2020/03

• Coordinator: Vincent Padois

• Other partners: RoBioSS (https://www.pprime.fr/?q=fr/robioss), PPRIME (Poitiers, France), Fuzzy Logic Robotics (https://www.flr.io) (Paris France)

• Abstract: he objective of the HARRY2 project is to attain more advanced workspace sharing capabilities through fully exploiting the collaborative possibilities defined by ISO TS 15066. We will achieve this by:

  • Developing PLC software and motion controllers using robot-agnostic industrially-rated components to ease and standardize the development of safe robotic applications with workspace sharing.

  • Integrating state-of-the-art energy-based control algorithms using these industrial hardware components, so that safety is no longer treated as an exception but considered as a constraint when computing the control solution in real-time.

  • Enabling the use of high-level and intuitive teaching interfaces reducing robot programming time and difficulty.

  • Developing a systematic and practical methodology for quantitative safety evaluation.
