Application and Evaluation of “Anshin Stop Switch'' based on Applied Behavior Analysis

A stop function that takes into considerations the principle of human behavior is defined as a ``Anshin Stop Switch'' and proposed as a cooperative safety technology for humans and machines. To confirm its effectiveness, we conducted a questionnaire survey among employees working in a robot restaurant in operation to confirm its hazard avoidance effect and its influence on future behavior. The results were organized as ``Safety Behavior Design Diagram'' based on ``Applied Behavior Analysis'' and its basic effectiveness was confirmed.
