Abstract
Technological breakthroughs have in recent years heavily increased the availability of different types of sensors and the amount of computational power, allowing for much more advanced robotic applications. By mounting multiple depth sensors on the robot and designing a fast and robust system with state-of-the-art algorithms we have made the robot aware of its surroundings. First, the surrounding is scanned into a static geometrical model. Then that model is used to detect and extract deviations in new scannings, for further analysis, to make suitable decisions on how the robot should act. We have demonstrated the system in a safety-critical setup for industrial robots, slowing down and stopping the robot when a human is too close. The... (More)

Popular Abstract (Swedish)
Dagens industrirobotar är helt omedvetna om sin omgivning och utför oftast enkla förprogrammerade uppgifter. Med flera moderna kameror som fångar tredimensionella bilder monterade på olika delar av roboten så får den ögon. Dessa kan sedan användas för att hålla koll och förstå vad som händer i dess närhet.
