Robotics and automation are evolving very fast these days. In the past robots with their working space had to be seperated from human with safety elements like safety fence and human presence was not allowed. Nowadays we can see more and more collaborative robots. This means that they have advanced safety and are ready to work with humans. This has greatly improved the speed and efficiency of work, since certain things make people faster.
In this work we have met with the collaborative robot Fanuc CR-7iA. This robot is designed to work with humans as well as witohout them. In our application, we tried to show the cooperation of robots and humans. We decided to make safe screwdriving application with Kolver automatic screwdriver.
In diploma thesis we described robot cell and its hardware. We briefly presented the software of each controller. We explained the operation of the safety system on the screwdriver, which we have constructed ourselves, and all other operations, which are necessary for the applicaton. Finally, we included and explained operations of a robot and a human.
