Robotics

Presents the broad picture on symbioses (Symbiotic Autonomous Systems) in a number of areas and how they impact our economic system and way of life. The IEEE SAS Initiative takes a 360° view based on technology and standardization—the foundation of IEEE—and invites all interested constituencies to contribute complementary points of view, including economic, regulatory, and sociocultural perspectives. The White Paper provides a broad Landscape on aspects of Symbiotic Autonomous Systems from which Standards can also be developed into the future.

This part of IEC 61000 for EMC immunity requirements applies to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use in industrial locations, as described below.

IEC 62714-1:2018 is a solution for data exchange focusing on the domain of automation engineering. The data exchange format defined in the IEC 62714 series (Automation Markup Language, AML) is an XML schema based data format and has been developed in order to support the data exchange in a heterogeneous engineering tools landscape. The goal of AML is to interconnect engineering tools in their different disciplines, e.g. mechanical plant engineering, electrical design, process engineering, process control engineering, HMI development, PLC programming, robot programming, etc. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) use of CAEX 3.0 according to IEC 62424:2016b) improved modelling of references to documents outside of the scope of the present standard,c) modelling of references between CAEX attributes and items in external documents,d) revised role libraries,e) modified Port concept,f) modelling of multilingual expressions,g) modelling of structured attribute lists or array,h) a new AML container format,i) a new standard AML attribute library

IEC 61784-3:2021 explains some common principles that can be used in the transmission of safety-relevant messages among participants within a distributed network which use fieldbus technology in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61508 (all parts) for functional safety. These principles are based on the black channel approach. They can be used in various industrial applications such as process control, manufacturing automation and machinery.

IEC 62443-3-2:2020 establishes requirements for:• defining a system under consideration (SUC) for an industrial automation and control system (IACS). • partitioning the SUC into zones and conduits. • assessing risk for each zone and conduit. • establishing the target security level (SL-T) for each zone and conduit; and• documenting the security requirements.

IEC TR 63074:2019 gives guidance on the use of IEC 62443 (all parts) related to those aspects of security threats and vulnerabilities that could influence functional safety implemented and realized by safety-related control systems (SCS) and could lead to the loss of the ability to maintain safe operation of a machine.Considered security aspects of the machine with potential relation to SCS are:– vulnerabilities of the SCS either directly or indirectly through the other parts of the machine which can be exploited by security threats that can result in security attacks (security breach). – influence on the safety characteristics and ability of the SCS to properly perform its function(s). – typical use case definition and application of a corresponding threat model.

This part of lEC 60320 sets the general requirements for appliance couplers for two poles andtwo poles with earth contact and for the connection of electrical devices for household andsimilar onto the mains supply.This document is also valid for appliance inlets/appliance outlets integrated or incorporated inappliances.The rated voltage does not exceed 250 V (AC) and the rated current does not exceed 16 A.Appliance couplers complying with this document are suitable for normal use at ambienttemperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period of 24 h does notexceed +35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C.Annex E provides test requirements for derating the operating current of an accessory whenused in ambient temperatures above +35 °C up to and including +90 °C.Appliance couplers are not suitable for:– use in place of plug and socket-outlet systems according to IEC 60884-1. – use in place of devices for connecting luminaires (DCLs) according to IEC 61995 orluminaire supporting couplers (LSCs). – use in place of installation couplers according to IEC 61535.

IEC 60664-1:2020 deals with insulation coordination for equipment having a rated voltage up to AC 1 000 V or DC 1 500 V connected to low-voltage supply systems. This document applies to frequencies up to 30 kHz. It applies to equipment for use up to 2 000 m above sea level and provides guidance for use at higher altitudes. It provides requirements for technical committees to determine clearances, creepage distances and criteria for solid insulation. It includes methods of electrical testing with respect to insulation coordination. The minimum clearances specified in this document do not apply where ionized gases are present. Special requirements for such situations can be specified at the discretion of the relevant technical committee. This document does not deal with distances:– through liquid insulation. – through gases other than air. – through compressed air.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:update of the Scope, Clauses 2 and 3,addition of 1 500 V DC into tables,new structure for Clauses 4 and 5,addition of Annex G with a flowchart for clearances,addition of Annex H with a flowchart for creepage distances,update of distances altitude correction in a new Table F.10.

This recommended practice outlines best practices and requirements for the development of designs of human-subject experiments in human-robot interaction research.

This standard provides a listing of desirable traits of robotic systems under the umbrella of agility - a compound notion of reconfigurability and autonomy as opposed to the typical robotic use of rigid pre-programmed tasks. In particular, it describes a set of quantitative test methods and metrics for assessing the following ten aspects: hardware reconfigurability, software reconfigurability, communications, task representation, sensing, reasoning, perception, planning, tasking, and execution.

This standard extends the IEEE 1873-2015™ Standard for Robot Map Data Representation from two-dimensional (2D) maps to three-dimensional (3D) maps.
