Robotics and autonomous systems

This document defines terms used in relation to robotics.

ISO 9409-1:2004 defines the main dimensions, designation and marking for a circular plate as mechanical interface. It is intended to ensure the exchangeability and to keep the orientation of hand-mounted end effectors.It does not define other requirements of the end effector coupling device.It does not contain any correlation of load-carrying ranges, as it is expected that the appropriate interface is selected depending on the application and the load-carrying capacity of the robot.

This document covers the general description of benchmarking test piece geometries along with quantitative and qualitative measurements to be taken on the benchmarking test piece(s) to assess the performance of additive manufacturing (AM) systems.This performance assessment may serve the two following purposes:– AM system capability evaluation. – AM system calibration.The benchmarking test piece(s) is (are) primarily used to quantitatively assess the geometric performance of an AM system. This document describes a suite of test geometries, each designed to investigate one or more specific performance metrics and several example configurations of these geometries into test piece(s). It prescribes quantities and qualities of the test geometries to be measured but does not dictate specific measurement methods. Various user applications can require various grades of performance. This document discusses examples of feature configurations, as well as measurement uncertainty requirements, to demonstrate low and high grade examination and performance. This document does not discuss a specific procedure or machine settings for manufacturing a test piece, which are covered by ASTM F2971 and other relevant process specific specifications.

Defines a ubiquitous network robot platform, and to identify its requirements and functional model. The use of standard interfaces for the ubiquitous network robot platform will ensure network robot service reusability, portability across several network robot services, and network accessibility and interoperability by the ubiquitous sensor network (USN).

Provides cloud computing requirements for Robotics as a Service, which addresses requirements from use cases. Robotics as a Service (RaaS) is a cloud service category aimed at supporting the development of robotics applications and services in a cloud computing environment. On the perspective of cloud computing service provisioning, this Recommendation defines the requirements for RaaS to identify functionalities such as augmented intelligence sharing, integrated robotic control, automated machine learning, data pre-processing, etc.

Robot Network Fabric and Cobots in the Collection and assessment of proposed use cases for 6G, explore their implications for 6G R&D activities, and enlighten the way forward. It is the second deliverable in the NGMN Alliance 6G Project and follows from its publication of '6G Drivers and Vision' in April 2021.

The purpose of this protocol is to validate suitability of 3D sensors, particularly LiDAR scanners, for improving the skill “Maintain Safe Distance” in advanced Speed and Separation Monitoring (SSM) cobot applications . Besides the sensors’ technical characteristics, the data processing, and decision-making abilities of an associated intelligent control system (ICS) are the subject of validation. Such ICS periodically acquires of a COBOT and an operator, eventually predicts their positions in a the positions near future, and adjusts the COBOT’s velocity to keep their mutual distance above the accordingly updated protective separation distance (PSD). The validation test checks with assistance of a high-speed high-resolution camera whether the ICS implements the SSM functionality successfully to prevent collisions between the robot and the operator in a systematically chosen repertoire of collaborative situations identified as potentially hazardous in the risk assessment. This protocol was developed in the COVR funded FSTP project “CobotSense” by FOKUS TECH, the Maribor, and FANUC ADRIA, and was published as a deliverable for that project.

Harmonised to the EU Machinery Directive, this adopted ISO Standard addresses the safety requirements addressing particular hazards that are presented by industrial robot systems when integrated and installed in industrial robot cells and lines. As a harmonised standard it can be used to demonstrate complaince required for CE marking of the system.

This DGUV Information is intended in particular for practitioners in the company who wish to find out about the hazards and safe handling of industrial robots. It outlines the most important safety-related features of industrial robots. It also addresses the most important requirements from the currently applicable legal sources and prepares them in a practical manner. It is intended to provide quick access to all aspects to be considered in the planning, acceptance, monitoring and operation of industrial robots and industrial robot systems.

The BG/BGIA recommendations for the risk assessment according to the machinery directive are published by the – German Institutions for Statutory Accident Insurance and – the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BGIA). Their objective is to provide companies an aid for the accident prevention related part of risk assessment. These BG/BGIA recommendations were drawn up in collaboration with the – Expert Committee for Machine Construction, Production Systems and Steel Construction of the Institution for Statutory Accident Insurance and Prevention Metall Nord Süd (Fachausschuss Maschinenbau, Fertigungssysteme, Stahlbau der Berufsgenossenschaft Metall Nord Süd).

Provides Stage 1 normative service requirements for 5G systems, in particular service requirements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains. cyberphysical systems understood as systems that include engineered, interacting networks of physical and computational components; control applications are to be understood as applications that control physical processes. The requirements of relevance to robotics, e.g. Mobile Robots are discussed, including impact to Factories of the Future

This document is intended to provide the readerwith a detailed overview of the ISA/IEC 62443Series of standards and technical reports. TheISA/IEC 62443 Series addresses the Security ofIndustrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS)throughout their lifecycle. These standards andtechnical reports were initially developed for theindustrial process sector but have since beenapplied to building automation, medical devices,and transportation sectors.
