Robots and robotic devices — Safety requirements for personal care robots

Abstract

This International Standard specifies requirements and guidelines for the inherently safe design,
protective measures, and information for use of personal care robots, in particular the following three
types of personal care robots:
— mobile servant robot;
— physical assistant robot;
— person carrier robot.
These robots typically perform tasks to improve the quality of life of intended users, irrespective of age
or capability. This International Standard describes hazards associated with the use of these robots, and
provides requirements to eliminate, or reduce, the risks associated with these hazards to an acceptable
level. This International Standard covers human-robot physical contact applications.
This International Standard presents significant hazards and describes how to deal with them for each
personal care robot type.
This International Standard covers robotic devices used in personal care applications, which are treated
as personal care robots.
This International Standard is limited to earthbound robots.
This International standard does not apply to:
— robots travelling faster than 20 km/h;
— robot toys;
— water-borne robots and flying robots;
— industrial robots, which are covered in ISO 10218;
— robots as medical devices;
— military or public force application robots.
