Robotics and autonomous systems

The purpose of this protocol is to validate the skill “limit range of motion” for industrial mobile robots and their payload. In this context, the skill limit range of motion is used to avoid the mobile robot and its payload to go through a forbidden space location. The validation protocol is aimed to check whether the footprint of the system is correctly set or not.

These requirements cover battery-operated mobile platforms with or without a payload. These devices are intended to be used indoors only or as outdoor use devices in a commercial or industrial environment.The deviceis battery powered using either lead acid batteries or lithium based batteries that,if rechargeable, are charged through a conductive system

This Standard defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of powered, not mechanically restrained, unmanned automatic guided industrial vehicles and the system of which the vehicles are a part. It also applies to vehicles originally designed to operate exclusively in a manned mode but which are subsequently modified to operate in an unmanned, automatic mode, or in a semiautomatic, manual, or maintenance mode

Specifies safety requirements for industrial mobile robots (IMRs). It describes basic hazards associated with IMRs in an industrial environment (See Clause 3.12), and provides requirements to eliminate or adequately reduce, the risks associated with these hazards.

This part of [the standard] specifies requirements and guidelines for the inherent safe design, protective measures and information for use of industrial robots. It describes basic hazards associated with robots and provides requirements to eliminate, or adequately reduce, the risks associated with these hazards.

Establish standards and guidelines that provide safe and reliable application of Mobile Unmanned Systems (MUS) for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), ground/crawlers and submersibles to inspect, monitor, and maintain industrial facilities and power plants as well as equipment, transmission lines, and pipelines.

This practice provides brief introduction to the following list of environmental conditions that can affect performance of the A-UGV: Lighting, External sensor emission, Temperature, Humidity, Electrical Interference, Air quality, Ground Surface, and Boundaries. This practice then breaks down each condition into sub-categories so that the user can document the various aspects associated with the category prior to A-UGV tests defined in ASTM F45 Test Methods

This practice specifies physical characteristics that can be used to describe obstacles utilized within ASTM Committee F45 test methods. The obstacle characteristics specified in this practice are not described with respect to the manner in which they will be sensed or detected by an A-UGV. Rather, the obstacles are described according to their real world characteristics.

The purpose of this test method is to evaluate an automatic, automated, or autonomous-unmanned ground vehicle’s (A-UGV) capability of traversing through a defined space with limited A-UGV clearance. This test method is intended for use by A-UGV manufacturers, installers, and users. This test method defines a set of generic 2D area shapes representative of user applications and for different A-UGV types.

This document provides ergonomic design guidelines intended to improve quality, performance and safety by reducing fatigue and injury associated with manufacturing systems, including individual and integrated machines and auxiliary components. It is intended to be a resource that can be applied to:Design or major modification, installation and use of machines and their auxiliary components. Design of a manufacturing system supporting machines and auxiliary components. Improve safety, quality and productivity, and reduce errors associated with a manufacturing system.Integrating ergonomic concepts early in the design process should maximize the impact and cost effectiveness of ergonomic interventions during the design process. The goal of this document is to provide guidance on the practical application of ergonomic principles in order to avoid work-related injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), increase productivity, and improve product quality. This document is directed towards technicians, engineers, designers, and safety and health practitioners who deal with general ergonomic issues related to machines. It is not intended to replace in-depth analysis by qualified and experienced ergonomists.

This part of IEC 60204 applies to the application of electrical, electronic and programmableelectronic equipment and systems to machines not portable by hand while working, including agroup of machines working together in a co-ordinated manner.

Describes the dimensioning of clearances and creepage distances for spacings equal to or less than 2 mm for printed wiring board and equivalent constructions, where the clearance and the creepage distance are identical and are along the surface of solid insulation.
