As operational measures, placing emergency staff who can carry out emergency stop in addition to the operator, avoiding practice alone so that members can immediately respond to an accident, implementation of various checks, re-examination of practice environment, keeping the workplace clean and etc., should be considered.ġ.5. As personal protective measures, wearing helmet protective glasses, gloves and clothing which is not easily caught in the robot, etc., should be considered.ġ.4.3. As structural measures, securing front view, covering sharp parts or attaching cover to movable parts, should be considered.ġ.4.2. Therefore, in addition to following examples, please take necessary safety measures.ġ.4.1. On the contest day, sufficient safety should be considered to the staff and the audience in the venue.ĭue to robot operator's operation mistake or by a reckless run of a control system or fracture of parts, the robot could stop, accelerate and turn suddenly causing the operator to collide with the robot's sharp parts (cut surface of the structure) or come into contact and be caught in the movable parts (such as gears) and crush the ambient environment. Participants must develop, build and practice robot safely under the supervision and instruction of the university instructor. (An accident could lead to discontinuation and/or delay of project due to workers' injury, investigation of the accident and implementation of the recurrence preventive measures)Įvery participant in the Robocon project who builds robot must observe the related laws, regulations and 'Safety and Health Guidelines' defined by the participant's university or equivalent regulations. Besides an ethical aspect, keeping workplace safety will not only minimize the delay of robot development but also promote the completion of robot according to the schedule in case of accident. Therefore every participant has a duty of developing robot safely.ġ.1.2. Safety is the most important issue to continue the Robot Contest to the future.
