    • In facilities that use collaborative robots and automated guided vehicles and do not separate people and machines, there are many residual risks, so it is important to respond from the worker's perspective.
      In facilities without protective fences, the only safety measure is to "stop the machine," so it is necessary to also consider productivity when considering safety measures.
      We are pursuing optimization of safety and productivity in spaces where people and machines coexist by utilizing collaborative robots and automated guided vehicles.
