AI Accelerator

The AI Accelerator enables AI to work with vision and sensor feedback to make logical decisions about the robot arm's behavior.

 

AI decision-making can introduce additional risks, including unintended motion, safety hazards, and system failures.

  • Be aware of sudden, unexpected motions resulting from AI decisions.

  • Be aware of the risk of unpredictable motion patterns.

  • Restrict personnel traffic within and around the robot application's reach when the application runs an AI experiment or demo.
 

Prolonged robot inactivity can be misinterpreted as a stop, which can result in equipment damage or personnel injury due to unexpected movement or a sudden start.

  • The application developer is responsible for installing and programming AI Accelerator to reduce unexpected movement situations.

  • Check the program state to determine if the robot is completely stopped or temporarily inactive (waiting). If the program is running but the robot is not moving, the robot can move again unexpectedly.

 

Failure to turn off, secure, and lock out all sources of hazardous energy to the robot application when servicing or repairing any part of the AI Accelerator setup can result in death or serious injury due to unexpected movement.

  • Turn off, secure, and lock out sources of hazardous energy before conducting all service and repair procedures.
