RoboSafe

Advanced Safety for close human–robot interaction

RoboSafe is designed for warehouse scenarios where people and robots need to work closer together, such as maintenance and controlled access inside automated areas. It extends the core Geek+ safety architecture to support safer human–robot interaction in shared work zones.

How RoboSafe works


RoboSafe allows robots to operate safely when authorized personnel enter shared or restricted areas.

  • Authorized operators interact with the system through a human–machine interface (HMI)

  • Operator presence is detected and verified before access is allowed

  • Robots adjust behavior based on predefined safety rules and proximity conditions

  • Safety actions are applied only within the affected zone to avoid unnecessary system-wide stops

Temporary human access within robot operating zones

Geek+ Systems Compatibility

RoboSafe integrates with all Geek+ robot systems and safety architecture, working alongside physical protection measures such as fencing, safety doors, and zone control and coordinates with safety PLC logic, access control, and emergency stop functions  RoboSafe does not replace system safety. It operates within it.
