When working with robots, most accidents are due to the misbehavior of the operator
entering the robot’s work area. In order to reduce the influence of the human factor, we
researched/examined possible concepts of machine vision, which, with the help of an RGB
camera mounted on the ceiling, monitors the robot's work area and triggers security functions
when the operator enters the work area. Through the validation of individual concepts, we
selected the most appropriate one, which reliably detected hazards and ensured safety for the
operator. The concept is easy to implement into existing systems.
