Robotics

Key Challenges in Implementation

Robotics teams face rapidly evolving safety standards as robots become more intelligent and collaborative. Ensuring that every safety function is validated according to ISO 13849 or IEC 61508 requires meticulous documentation of risk assessments, calculations, safety requirements, and test evidence. Integrating hardware, embedded software, and control logic increases complexity. Many teams lack a unified system to connect risk mitigations with test results, creating gaps that become critical during certification. Time-to-market pressure makes maintaining up-to-date documentation particularly burdensome.

Relevant Certifications & Standards

• ISO 10218 – Industrial robot safety
• ISO/TS 15066 – Collaborative robots
• IEC 61508 – Functional safety
• ISO 13849 – Machinery safety
• IEC 62061 – Safety of machinery control systems
