Systems and methods are provided for specifying safety rules for robotic devices. A computing device can determine information about any actors present within a predetermined area of an environment. The computing device can determine a safety classification for the predetermined area based on the information. The safety classification can include: a low safety classification if the information indicates zero actors are present within the predetermined area, a medium safety classification if the information indicates any actors are present within the predetermined area all are of a predetermined first type, and a high safety classification if the information indicates at least one actor present within the predetermined area is of a predetermined second type. After determining the safety classification for the predetermined area, the computing device can provide a safety rule for operating within the predetermined area to a robotic device operating in the environment.

A teleoperated robotic system that utilizes a graphical user interface (GUI) to perform work on a workpiece(s) using a robot. A coordinate system of the GUI is correlated to the tool center point (TCP) of the robot and the TCP or workspace of a teleoperated member, such as a haptic joystick. Operable manipulation of the teleoperated member is correlated to a movement at a particular location in the robot station, such as movement of the TCP of the robot. The GUI can also provide digital representations of the workpiece, which is based on inputted and/or scanned information relating to a reference workpiece and/or the particular workpiece on which the robot is performing work. The GUI can further provide indications of the various stages of assembly of the workpiece, as well as an indication of work already, or to be, performed on the workpiece.

The present invention relates to an industrial robot system comprising a platform (1) positioned in a robot cell, an industrial robot (2) positioned on the platform and including an articulated robot arm (6), a sensor system comprising 5 two sensors (4, 5), wherein each of the sensors is configured to detect motions within an angle of at least 90o in a horizontal plane, two arms (10, 12) attached to the platform (1) and arranged to move the sensors (4, 5) in relation to the platform independent of the articulated robot arm between an extended position located a distance of a least 0.5 m from the platform and a 10 retracted position. The sensors are arranged to detect motions of an object within a safety zone and the robot system is configured to adjust the speed of the robot if a moving object is detected in the safety zone.
