    Abstract: A method for implementing a safety configuration for a manipulator comprising an end effector comprises: a) reading an action instruction from a manipulator control program, the instruction defining at least one of a path to be followed by the end effector, a target position to be reached by the end effector, a target pose to be assumed by the end effector and an action to be carried out by a tool wielded by the end effector; b) reading at least one constraint instruction from the manipulator control program, the constraint instruction defining a constraint to be observed while carrying out an action instruction; and c) carrying out the action instruction read in step a) while respecting the constraint defined in the at least one constraint instruction, or transferring the manipulator into a safety mode if violation of the at least one constraint is detected while carrying out the action instruction.
