Panasonic has collaborated with Toyota Motor Corporation to develop a skill that evaluates finger safety, enabling humans and machines to coexist and collaborate safely with peace of mind. The two companies are now commercialized and will launch the "Tear Evaluation Finger Dummy" on October 15, 2021 by Tanac Co., Ltd. as an evaluation thing to protect against relatively minor finger damage - it is estimated that the demand for this thing is high, especially in the industrial world.
Due to the shortage of labor due to the declining birth rate and aging population, the use of robots in industrial international is expanding. In particular, the use of cobots, which are expected to increase productivity and share the workspace with people, is expected to increase globally. At the same time, ensuring the safety and security of the manufacturing floor where the cobot operates has become a paramount issue, and there have been calls for how to avoid relatively minor finger injuries to which people are particularly susceptible.
Panasonic and Toyota began to jointly develop this finger safety evaluation technique in 2018 with the aim of contributing to safety and safety on the production floor. Panasonic has a skill that evaluates the safety of the body, which was developed based on verification tests conducted on pig skin, which is said to be similar to human skin. Since 2005, the company has been using proprietary things to evaluate the safety of its products, such as its "Hasamanize mechanism" to prevent fingers from getting stuck in folding doors and autonomous transport robots. Based on Panasonic's skills and based on Toyota's knowledge and experience in manufacturing operations,
A finger dummy consists of a mandrel that corresponds to a human skeleton and a soft material that corresponds to the skin (finger dummy part) that covers the mandrel. The softness profile of the simulated skin is a proprietary profile with approximately the same tear resistance (the load at which tears occur) as real human skin. By piercing the surface of the machine to cover the soft material, the potential damage can be visualized based on the degree of damage to the soft material, so that the user can guess and evaluate the risk of slight finger injury. In addition, the product can be reused by replacing soft materials.
