Safety Zone Control is a critical concept in the field of autonomous navigation for mobile robots. Safety zones are defined as spatial regions surrounding a robot where specific safety behaviors are enforced. These zones allow robots to maintain safe operation while preserving productivity and user confidence. Safety zones play an essential role in enabling robots to coexist with humans in shared environments, such as factories, warehouses, hospitals, and smart cities.
The primary objective of a safety zone is collision prevention, with the robot continuously estimating potential risks associated with nearby objects. Multiple layers of safety zones may be implemented to provide a structured framework for the robot to react before dangerous situations occur.
