Abstract

A robot has to be safe and reliable. An unreliable robot may become the cause of unsafe conditions, high maintenance costs, inconvenience, etc.

Over the years, in general safety and reliability areas various assessment methods have been developed, e.g. failure mode and effects analysis, fault tree analysis, and Markovian analysis. In view of these, this paper presents an overview of the most suitable robot safety and reliability assessment techniques.
