Abstract

This paper presents a concept of a safety-related sensor system that is intended to ensure the detection of people in the vicinity of automated guided vehicles (AGV). This becomes necessary due to the increased usage of these vehicles in coexistence and in collaboration with people in industrial environment. The normative requirements will also change in a way that in the future people will have to be explicitly detected by safety sensors. Until now, only very simple test specimens have been used in the current standards to represent people. In this contribution, the efforts to expand these test specimens are shown. The experimental setup of the safety-related sensor system consists of three sensors from the sector of consumer electronics and is based on the open source framework Robot Operating System (ROS).
