Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a design modification that can enhance robot safety?

   Hint

   Think about how speed affects safety.

2. 2.

   Name one type of sensor used for safety in HRI.

   Hint

   What helps detect human closeness to a robot?

3. 3.

   Which of the following is a design modification?

   • Limiting speed
   • Proximity sensor
   • Training programs

   Hint

   Consider changes made to the robot's physical structure.

4. 4.

   True or False: Administrative measures involve engineering adjustments to robots.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember the focus of administrative measures.

5. 5.

   Develop a complete risk reduction plan for a new construction robot, specifying design modifications, type of sensors, and training requirements.

   Hint

   Think about all aspects of safety from design to operation.

6. 6.

   Analyze a real-world case where a robot caused an incident due to a lack of safety measures. Suggest improvements that could prevent similar issues.

   Hint

   Look for elements that intersect with what we've learned in risk reduction.
