Hello Robert, The IEEE Computer Society does some work in this area. There have been articles in their magazine "Intelligent Systems" covering general robotic safety for autonomous systems. The following link has its own hyperlink to some articles for consideration. http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/roblaw.htm

From: Robert Macy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Robotics Operational Safety Standarads Ladies, Gentlemen, Safety from mobile robots operating within a non-technical group of users are/will be of concern to agencies, companies, and individuals involved in this industry. I've been tasked with seeking information about such Safety Standards - find standards, contact organizations/individuals, etc. I know there exists a plethora of related industrial robotic standards, but those standards seem like Class A versus Class B. Does anyone know of, or is anyone pursuing, any "Class B" standards? Who at IEEE is responsible for these standards and would actively take part in creating/extending operational safety standards? Who within any country? Feel free to reply 'off line' Regards, Robert Macy, PE AJM Electronics 101 E San Fernando St., Ste 402 San Jose, CA 95112 tel: 408 982 7574 cel: 408 286 3985 fax: 408 297 9121 [email protected] - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
