In the field of robotics there's a constant growth in innovation and implementation of collaborative robots. They differ from classical industrial robots in terms of safety, because they are equipped with safety sensors, and are able to ensure a higher standard of safety and efficiency for the people who are working with them. Even though that this type of robots are un-harmful towards workers and are meant for collaboration with human users, some people still have prejudice against them.
In this thesis we have described the collaborative robot cell and all hardware included in the application. We have presented the procedure of configuration the safety system, the development of the graphic interface and the app for experiments with the robot UR5e. In the continuation we have explained the protocol of the experiment, with which we analysed the perception of safety from the viewpoint of the user. Our method of research was a survey using questions. At the end we have presented the outcome of the survey, which shows that the type the robot moves has the most effect on the response of the person working with it. A lesser effect on the response has the type of the tool the robot is working with and the velocity at which the robot moves.
