Modeling algorithm to avoid collisions in robotic collaborative systems

In modern collaborative and industrial robotics, the issue of safety of human-robot interaction is one of the main problems. Due to the high mass and high-speed operating modes, a collision between the manipulator and the operator often leads to injury to a person. The aim of the work is to develop and test an algorithm to avoid collision for robots in a dynamic environment. The simulation was carried out in the Webots simulator using the virtual force method. The algorithm has shown high efficiency and reliability, maintaining a safe distance between a robot and a person. The developed system to avoid collision is suitable for industrial environments.
