Robotics and autonomous systems

This standard defines an ontology that allows for the representation of, reasoning about, and communication of task knowledge in the robotics and automation domain. This ontology includes key terms as well as their definitions, attributes, types, structures, properties, constraints, and relationships. It will address the way that hierarchical planners represent task knowledge which will allow them to better communicate among levels of the ontology hierarchy.

A set of ontologies with different abstraction levels that contain concepts, definitions, axioms, and use cases that assist in the development of ethically driven methodologies for the design of robots and automation systems is established by this standard.

A map data representation of environments of a mobile robot performing a navigation task is specified in this standard. It provides data models and data formats for two-dimensional (2D) metric and topological maps.

This standard extends IEEE Std 1872-2015, IEEE Standard for Ontologies for Robotics and Automation, to represent additional domain-specific concepts, definitions, and axioms commonly used in Autonomous Robotics (AuR). This standard is general and can be used in many ways--for example, to specify the domain knowledge needed to unambiguously describe the design patterns of AuR systems; to represent AuR system architectures in a unified way; or as a guideline to build autonomous systems consisting of robots operating in various environments.

A core ontology that specifies the main, most general concepts, relations, and axioms of robotics and automation (R&A) is defined in this standard, which is intended as a reference for knowledge representation and reasoning in robots, as well as a formal reference vocabulary for communicating knowledge about R&A between robots and humans. This standard is composed of a core ontology about R&A, called CORA, together with other ontologies that give support to CORA.

ISO/TS 15066:2016 specifies safety requirements for collaborative industrial robot systems and the work environment, and supplements the requirements and guidance on collaborative industrial robot operation given in ISO 10218‑1 and ISO 10218‑2.ISO/TS 15066:2016 applies to industrial robot systems as described in ISO 10218‑1 and ISO 10218‑2. It does not apply to non-industrial robots, although the safety principles presented can be useful to other areas of robotics.NOTE This Technical Specification does not apply to collaborative applications designed prior to its publication

Environmental testing - Part 2-27: Tests - Test Ea and guidance: Shock

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.

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 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 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.
