StandICT.eu 2026 Landscape Analysis Report - Landscape of Robotics Standards

<p>As Europe strives towards its Digital Decade targets for 2030, robotics is set to play a pivotal role in&nbsp;transforming key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and mobility.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Robotics represents a core enabler of Europe&rsquo;s broader industrial and digital transformation strategies and the integration of robotics within smart cities, hospitals, and manufacturing ecosystems demands comprehensive and forward-looking standards that ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance.</p>
<p>This report produced by the StandICT.eu Technical Working Group (TWG) on robotics provides an&nbsp;updated overview of standards for three critical robotics applications: Automated Guided Vehicles&nbsp;(AGVs), ICT Networks, and Medical Robotics. These areas have strategic importance but are also&nbsp;affected by several standardisation gaps. As Europe advances in these sectors, the need for&nbsp;harmonised standards becomes ever more pressing to safeguard citizens, foster innovation, and&nbsp;strengthen Europe&rsquo;s competitiveness in the global market.</p>
