Roundpeg developed an environmental detection system for Cobots. The sensors are installed directly on the robot and constantly measure the distance to any surrounding obstacles, including human co-workers. The working principle mainly relies on ultrasonic – so the technology is well-proven for an industrial environment. To get started, you simply put the covers on the robot, connect the wires and install the URCap. Start the system with just one click. For more complex environments, the system has an auto-detection capability. The software is continuously updated for new features. Save valuable space in your application with Roundpeg detection. Enable your Cobot to work seamlessly around people. Roundpegs product pegOn guarantees your team will warmly welcome their new robotic assistant. Bring your Cobot to the next level of collaboration with Roundpeg.
The Roundpeg pegOn sensorics span a detection field around the robot - similar to a virtual protection zone. With that, objects and human operators in the robot proximity are recognized. Once an operator is closer than the virtual protection zone, the robot stops.
With that, robots directly recognize their human co-workers. As soon as the operator moves out of the zone, the robot can proceed its work automatically. The detection zones are easily switched on and off and adjusted inside the UR Polyscope software. For complex environments, an auto-detection functionality simplifies programming even more.
