This International Standard specifies requirements and guidelines for the inherently safe design, protective measures, and information for use of personal care robots, in particular the following three types of personal care robots: - mobile servant robot; - physical assistant robot; - person carrier robot. These robots typically perform tasks to improve the quality of life of intended users, irrespective of age or capability. This International Standard describes hazards associated with the use of these robots, and provides requirements to eliminate, or reduce, the risks associated with these hazards to an acceptable level. This International Standard covers human-robot physical contact applications. This International Standard presents significant hazards and describes how to deal with them for each personal care robot type. This International Standard covers robotic devices used in personal care applications, which are treated as personal care robots. This International Standard is limited to earthbound robots.
