Abstract: A mobile machine includes: a travelable base; a movable machine part arranged at the travelable base and having a hazardous section; and a securing apparatus having one or more sensors and arranged at the movable machine part. A method for the safe operation of a mobile machine includes that the mobile machine is selectively operated in a work mode, in which the movable machine part performs working movements while the travelable base is stationary, or in a travel mode in which the travelable base performs travel movements while the movable machine part assumes a defined travel position. The securing apparatus monitors a respective protective volume that corresponds to a defined environment of the hazardous section in the work mode and corresponds to a defined environment of the travelable base in the travel mode. In the event of an object engaging into the respective protective volume, a safety-related reaction is triggered.

Abstract: For the control of a robot operated as part of a human-robot collaboration, a preplanned movement sequence is provided that comprises a defined movement path along which the robot is to move in order to perform a specific task, and a defined speed development according to which each point of the movement path is associated with a speed at which the robot is to move at the respective point.
