The RMC has introduced a paradigm shift in the area of safe, intuitive collaboration between humans and robots; the new generation of robotic assistants puts the human at the core of the robotic system. The two-armed 'co-worker' automatically adjusts its activity and the level of safety to suit the distance from its human colleague. This means that the human can interactively and very easily reprogram the robotic software at any time – just by moving.
