隨著製造產業對於生產自動化的需求，工業機器人成為重要的產品製造輔助工具之一，而使人與機器人不可避免的共享其工作空間，當人與機器人的距離越靠越近時，兩者間的相互接觸往往難以避免，此種關係稱之為物理性的人機互動(physical Human-Robot Interaction)。在物理性人機互動中，擁有高質量與高速度的機器人始終對人類存有潛在的安全威脅，但其對人類造成的傷害卻沒有明確的評估方法。本研究的主要目的為使用汽車產業的傷害評估方法與碰撞人偶模型來探討物理性人機互動時人體的傷害情形。
汽車產業在人體傷害的研究上已發展多年，在車輛碰撞測試中以碰撞人偶來模擬駕駛者及乘客，這些碰撞人偶具有與真實人體接近的碰撞反應，因此利用碰撞人偶與機器人進行傷害情形的撞擊模擬，再將經由碰撞人偶量測到的數據以傷害評估方法進行分析與討論。
本研究將人與機器人的空間關係分成各種不同的撞擊情形，再將機器人本身質量與速度上的變化考慮為不同的撞擊條件，探討不同情形或不同條件時，碰撞人偶所呈現的傷害情況，以及各個情形和各個條件彼此間，碰撞人偶動態反應的差異，藉以了解各種環境設定下，機器人對於人體的傷害風險。
最後為了解不同傷害防護方法的效用，為碰撞人偶配戴上防護盔或是將機械手臂碰撞表面覆蓋上黏彈性材料，並以特定的機器人質量與運作速度進行撞擊，比較傷害防護裝置使用前後碰撞人偶的動態反應變化，以各項傷害評估方法探討其對於人體保護的功效。

For the demand of manufacturing automation, industrial robots become one of the most important assistant tools in industry. It's inevitable that human and robots must share their workspace. When distance between human and robot is getting closer, it's hard to avoid them to contact with each other. This is called "physical Human-Robot Interaction" or "pHRI". The heavy and high-speed robots will bring potential risk to people working with them, but now there is still no definite method to evaluate the injury.
The purpose in this study is to evaluate the human response in "pHRI" based on injury assessment methods and crash dummies, which are usually used in automobile industry. After conducting impact simulations of dummy and robots, the data of dynamic responses of dummies can be analyzed. And in order to know the dummy responses in various situations, the study classified into different impact environments and masses and impact velocities of robots.
Finally, to know the effect of safety equipments, impact between human wearing the protective helmet and robot are performed as an injury protective case study. By comparing the change of dynamic responses of dummies, whether the helmet work or not can be evaluated.
