Ensuring safe operations of industrial robots requires not only a set of safe robot instructions, but also the ability to sense, whether the instructions were followed correctly. This process may requires more than just the reading of robot motor’s positions: using sensors not connected to the robot control system can provide information of the robot’s actual movement that can verify the safe operation. For a robot with a limited set of instructions (each containing a fixed sequence of movements), a gesture recognition system using inertial sensors can be used for online safety validation. In this paper, we describe the prototypical design of such a system for safe human-robot-interaction.
