| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since human coexistence robots that share the work environment with humans are a new technology, it is difficult to quantitatively evaluate the frequency of exposure to collision risk using historical accident data and other data. Therefore, previous studies have proposed a method of quantitative exposure frequency evaluation by reproducing the operating conditions of a robot by having a human substitute perform the same tasks as the robot. However, this method does not take into account the approaching properties. So, it is considered to be ineffective in narrow environments. In this study, a method for evaluating exposure frequency in a narrow environment that takes into account the approaching properties such as changes in speed and distance was proposed. Verification experiments were conducted in the same way as in previous studies using human substitutes to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
