| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we developed a velocity and contact force-based mechanical safety brake for human friendly robots in order to improve the safety. This safety brake consists of passive mechanical elements without actuators, controllers, and batteries. This brake switches off all of the robot’s motors and then stops the driveshaft by gradually reducing the velocity of the driveshaft after this brake has been activated. The effectiveness of the brake was verified by experiments.
