FORT talks with safety expert Erik Reynolds of Reynolds & Moore to get his take on what developers need to know about functional safety for autonomous systems as a part of our new Q&A series, Safety Check.
The road to redundant safety and wireless remote control for autonomous vehicle (AV) testing just became faster thanks to FORT's partnership with Dataspeed, a leader in autonomous research vehicles. The combination of our Safe Remote Control and Dataspeed's 'Drive-by-Wire' hardware and software system will equip researchers with a more controlled testing environment for autonomous vehicles and their applications.
Designing mobile robot safety systems is a huge undertaking. From onboard sensors to safety PLCs, you need to make sure your future customers are safe at all times. But, what happens when a safety system fails? How will your machine respond? Just one failure could lead to disastrous consequences that will impact your company’s brand and your personal conscience. That’s why functional safety is key to understand and implement in your robot design.
Wireless emergency stop systems are safe, convenient, and have a wide range of applications. Yet many people are surprised to learn that wireless e-stopping is not only possible, it's actually an ideal safety solution for many industries. As machines become more mobile and more autonomous, the ability to intervene remotely is crucial, both for avoiding accidents and increasing output.
Construction robots have the potential to prevent accidents and transform the industry — if they’re used properly.
