Mobile robot safety is set to be a hot topic at this year’s event, says Carole Franklin, Director of Robotics Standards Development, at A3 who led development of the R15.08-1 standard for industrial mobile robots – safety requirements, Part I.
“Part I describes how to make a mobile robot that’s capable of operating safely around people, whereas Part II describes how to integrate mobile robots in industrial environments, including operating safely around people. If all goes well, we hope to publish Part II just prior to IRSC, but either way, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn more at the event.”
