FourByThree: Imagine humans and robots working hand in hand

Since December 2014, FourByThree Project ('Highly customizable robotic solutions for effective and safe human robot collaboration in manufacturing applications') is developing a new generation of modular industrial robotic solutions that are suitable for efficient task execution in collaboration with humans in a safe way and are easy to use and program by factory workers. This paper summarizes the key technologies that are used to achieve this goal.
