• Description:
  The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Center for Occupational Robotics Research (CORR) addresses the safety of today’s workers who use, wear, or work near robots. CORR accomplishes this by working in partnership with academic researchers, trade associations, robotics manufacturers, employers using robotics, integrators who set up robotic systems in workplaces, labor organizations, and government agencies. The Center addresses traditional robots and emerging technologies such as collaborative robots, mobile robots, powered human exoskeletons, and remotely controlled or autonomous vehicles and drones. The Center focuses on:
  
  • Identifying opportunities to better protect worker safety and health using robotics
  
  • Increasing understanding of human and robot interactions to ensure human worker safety
  
  • Improving the ability to identify and track injuries and fatalities involving robotics
  
  • Providing guidance on working safely with robotics
