[en] Safe service and personal care robots became new exciting research topic over last few years. Physical segregation of the industrial robot and humans works fine [1], but for obvious
reasons is not possible if physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is required. Autonomous robots and untrained humans sharing the operation space and cooperating with each other
brings new kind of risks and requirements to robot safety.
The wide deployment of service and personal care robots
suggests limited costs for the robot development phase. The
existing robots, both industrial and academic, are mostly
designed from scratch without providing clear and safetyoriented
engineering process for robot design.
