机器人安全问题变得越来越重要，因为未来的机器人将需要与人类共享工作区域，以实现富有成效的合作。机器人的贡献可能仅限于繁重和重复的工作，而人类则充当监督者并处理异常情况。一个新的安全系统已经开发出来，它允许这样的密切互动。一个模块的任务是定位工作区域内的人，并为机器人提供适当的行为模式，以避免危及操作员的情况。该模块使用摄像头和计算机视觉技术来获取操作员的位置。安全系统的另一个模块必须防止机器人失控，这可以被定义为由于机器人硬件或软件故障而导致的意外机器人运动。语音识别被用作操作员和机器人之间的接口。一个专用的机器人控制结构已经实施，允许通过语音系统的操作员的快速和安全的干预。<<ETX>>
The question of robot safety become increasingly important as future robots will be required to share their working area with humans in order to achieve a fruitful cooperation. The robot's contribution could be restricted to the laborious and repetitive work, whereas the human acts as a supervisor and handles exceptions. A new safety system has been developed which allows such a close interaction. One module has the task to localize people inside the working area and provide the robot with an appropriate behavior pattern in order to avoid situations endangering the operator. This module uses a camera and computer vision techniques to obtain the location of the operator. The other module of the safety system has to prevent a robot runaway, which can be defined as an unexpected robot motion due to a failure of robot hardware or software. Speech recognition is used as interface between operator and robot. A dedicated robot-control structure has been implemented permitting a fast and safe intervention of the operator by means of the speech system.<<ETX>>
