Resumen
The modernization of production processes in any industry involves the use and rapid development of industrial robots together with further improvements related to technical solutions in the field of automation of technological processes. These machines are faster, more powerful and more accurate than people, and, therefore, they significantly improve the volume and quality of production. Workers are excluded from difficult and monotonous work activities in hostile and hazardous environments. To have a robot system functioning properly, it is necessary to pay special attention to the safety of workplaces where robots operate so that any malfunction that may lead to injuring workers could be prevented. When using the robots, it is important to emphasize operational safety, software-defined boundaries of robotic movement and risk assessment.
