The Tauber project evaluates the use of computer vision, artificial intelligence, and laser/radar technologies for safeguards on automated cells in manufacturing. The use of new technologies has the potential to simplify setup, improve human-machine collaboration and avoid the associated downtime when humans are inside the range of a robot motion either by entering a fenced cell or breaking electronic guards.
