Advancing the safety of robotics with testing and certification

Consumer and commercial robots generally operate in public places, in commercial environments and in homes near humans, so increasing the safety of robots operating in environments where people are present is important. In addition to mechanical and electrical safety, additional safety concerns must be addressed, such as those associated with robot-human interaction. We can help manufacturers demonstrate safety and increase confidence that their robot products meet safety and performance requirements, which can protect brand reputation and build consumer trust.
