This test method measures an automatic/automated/autonomous-unmanned ground vehicle (A-UGV) kinetic energy reduction when objects appear in the A-UGV path and within the stop-detect range of the vehicle safety sensors in situations in which the desired reaction is for the vehicle to stop as opposed to avoiding the obstacle by traveling on an alternative path.
This terminology covers terms associated with unmanned (that is, driverless), ground (that is, land-based and in continuous contact with the ground), industrial vehicles. By providing a common and consistent lexicon, the purpose of this terminology is to facilitate communication between individuals who may be involved in the research, design, deployment, and use of unmanned ground vehicles, including but not limited to, for manufacturing, distribution, security, etc. The terminology covers terms used in performance test methods of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots, and all other driverless, ground vehicles. In addition, with increasingly intelligent vehicle systems with onboard equipment, robotics industry terms that are used in associated test methods and descriptions are also included.
This practice considers impairments of communications within an automatic, automated, or autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (AUGV) system during task execution. An A-UGV system typically uses communications between an A-UGV and fixed system components and resources, such as off-board control, job and fleet scheduling, infrastructure equipment interactions, or cloud-computing programs for tasks.
This test method defines standard tests that demonstrate and confirm positioning of an A-UGV. Positioning, the repeatability of A-UGV location when stationary after completing maneuvers to a stop location, may be defined globally or locally relative to local infrastructure.
This standard provides requirements for use in developing effective safeguarding methods to protect people from injury due to inadvertent contact with mechanical power transmission apparatus. When specific safeguarding methods are listed, they are based on sound safety practices; however, alternatives that provide equivalent protection are acceptable. The use of personal protective equipment is recommended, where applicable, but its use does not negate provisions of this Standard.
VDE-AR-E 2842-61-3 describes the requirements for the management in order to ensure and support a structured approach to the development of an trustworthy autonomous cognitive system. This entails guidance (e. g. process, procedures synchronized with the overall process), supporting means (e. g. methods, templates) as well as resource planning and activity tracking to ensure the right performance of the system. The obligation is split into three parts: the management on company level, the management during the project and the management after release. VDE AR 2842-61-3 is part of an overall reference lifecycle as a unified approach to achieve and maintain the overall performance of the solution and the intended behavior and trustworthiness of the autonomous / cognitive system. In addition, this could lead to a basis for the qualification and conformity assessment of solutions based on autonomous / cognitive systems including elements of artificial intelligence.
VDE-AR-E 2842-61-6 specifies a general framework for the development of trustworthy solutions and trustworthy autonomous / cognitive systems, including the requirements for the subsequent phases of Product life cycle (e. g. production, marketing & sales, operation & maintenance, retirement & repair). It defines a reference lifecycle in analogy to the most important standards for functional safety (i. e. IEC 61508) as a unified approach to achieve and maintain the overall performance of the solution and the intended behavior and trustworthiness of the autonomous / cognitive system. In addition, this could lead to a basis for the qualification and conformity assessment of solutions based on autonomous / cognitive systems including elements of artificial intelligence. The
