Abstract
In this contribution, we present two approaches yielding an automatic generation of the optimal sensor configuration in a defined human robot collaboration scenario with respect to the compliance of the human operator's safety and the minimum floor space consumption in the working cell. Based on a simulation setup created with the software Gazebo 7, we develop two algorithms providing the combination and position information of such devices. Following the derived procedures, we focus not only on the placement of safety elements, namely the laser scanner, fences and safety mats but also the influence of the corresponding parameters on the obtained results.
