I. Introduction
Nowadays manufacturing moves from conventional static production lines with large lot sizes to more flexible and easily adaptable factory units to manufacture or assemble small batches or even individual constructions. In the course of this process collaboration of humans and robots become more and more important [1], [2]. The exclusive use of industrial robots separated from workers by physical safe guards was extended by operation modes, where workers act very proximate to or even collaborative with robots (Fig. 1). As a consequence existing standards and requirements regarding safety are no longer sufficient.
