Ensuring Safety and Security of Collaborative Robotic Systems Applications Development

Robot proliferation is prevalent across many industries. Factories have long embraced industrial robots for jobs that are either too dangerous or labor intensive for humans. Robots can work 24/7 without breaks. They have been widely deployed for welding, painting, assembly, pick and place, and packaging applications. As robotics technology has developed, companies have begun to implement new and innovative applications.

Historically, industrial robotic systems are separated from humans to protect people from injury. However, with new technological advancements, there is growing potential to bring the power and precision of robots closer together with the creative and problem-solving ability of humans. While this can dramatically increase productivity, it also creates new risks and concerns for businesses.

Robots perform actions that can cause serious, even fatal, injuries if they are not properly safeguarded. Ensuring that these systems operate correctly, safely, and securely is a huge challenge. An area of particular concern is assuring and certifying embedded software. This is compounded by the emergence of new and newly revised safety and security regulations and standards.

Join us for this one-hour webinar to learn about:

• Challenges of developing and verifying collaborative robotic systems applications
  
• Software development tools and best practices to overcome these challenges
  
• Reducing the cost and risk of IEC 61508 and IEC 62443 compliance
  
• Driving business value through efficient development and verification
