OpenArm Safety
Safety guidelines and operational procedures
Human-Centered Design
OpenArm is designed with safety as a core principle. Human-centered design includes compliance, backdrivability, and mechanical limits to enable safe human-in-the-loop demonstrations and contact-rich manipulation tasks.
Key Safety Features
- Compliance & Backdrivability — Joint-level actuation allows safe physical interaction during teleoperation and demonstrations.
- Mechanical Limits — Built-in limits prevent out-of-range motion and reduce collision risk.
- Force Control — Impedance and force control modes enable gentle, predictable behavior.
Operational Guidelines
Always follow manufacturer guidelines for setup, calibration, and operation. Ensure adequate workspace clearance and emergency stop access. For detailed safety procedures and best practices, refer to the official documentation.
