ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a collaborative Delta robot ( 1 ) comprising
a stationary base ( 2 ) and a mobile basket ( 3 ) connected to the base ( 2 )
by means of three kinematic chains ( 4, 5, 6 ), where each kinematic chain is
driven by its own motor ( 7 ), characterized in that the robot comprises first
means ( 8 ) for detecting the presence of an object or a living being in a
first safety zone around the robot, in that the robot comprises means for
detecting contact between one of the kinematic chains ( 4, 5, 6 ) or the
basket ( 3 ) with an object or living being, and in that the robot comprises a
motor control unit configured to reduce the speed of the motors from a first
speed to a second speed when an object or living being is detected in the
first safety zone and to stop the motors when contact between a kinematic
chain ( 4, 5, 6 ) or the basket ( 3 ) with an object or living being is
detected.
