…meet. The directive also says products must carry the CE mark, which indicates that the machinery complies with EU safety standards. To meet such standards, AMRs include sensors and other built-in safety features that allow the robots to navigate collaboratively around human co-workers by slowing down, changing direction, or stopping to avoid collision. However, confusion often arises around MRE and safety standards because this equipment is not part of the robot itself, but is a critical element of the robotic application. This is a complex topic that can’t be covered in a single blog post. But we regularly hear questions…
