  • Patent number: 10005185
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for controlling a robot, which non-simultaneously shares a working space with another robot. On the basis of a determined residual period, in which the working space remains occupied, the path planning of a robot is adjusted in a cycle time-optimized manner, in order to avoid a deceleration at the working space limit and a wait for the working space to be vacated.

  • Patent number: 9646476
    Abstract: The gas monitoring and fall detection device is a safety device intended to be worn by special duty personnel, such as maintenance people, who do not work in a set location and may inadvertently stray into dangerous situations. The gas monitoring and fall detection device monitors the working environment for dangerous gas levels and, when a dangerous gas level is detected, generates an alarm to the wearer and transmits an alarm to a supervisory station. The gas monitoring and fall detection device also contains an accelerometer to detect falls and a GPS module to provide the location of the wearer. The gas monitoring and fall detection device comprises a monitoring unit that is worn by the wearer and a supervisory station to receive the transmitted alarm information.
