Collaborative robot and a method for protecting collaborative robot from hazardous events

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a collaborative robot and a method for protecting collaborative form hazardous events. The method comprises detecting hazardous event in a working environment of the collaborative robot. Thereafter, the detected hazardous event is validated. Once the validation is performed, the inflation of a protective fabric housed in a protective compartment of the collaborative robot is initiated, wherein upon inflation, the protective fabric covers the collaborative robot for protecting the collaborative robot from the hazardous event. The present invention is used for self-protection of the collaborative robot in hazardous events without any human intervention.
