With the continuous development of robot-related technologies, robots have become more and more widely used in industrial production. Simple and repetitive operations such as material transfer and palletizing have gradually expanded to various fields which complicated their working environment. Therefore, the safety requirements of robots are also more stringent. A method was proposed for robot collision prediction here. This method can predict the position of the robot after a specified time, then detect the collision situation at that position to achieve the purpose of collision prediction. This method can predict the collision situation with fine accuracy within the specified time and is of positive significance for further improving the safety of robots.
