Standards Development
This standard specifies performance test methods for shock absorption type outer covers used in service robots, covering contact-detective performance and shock absorption performance.
As the labor shortage caused by declining birthrate and aging population have become a major issue for all industries in Japan, it is expected that the demand for service robots will increase in homes, stores and factories, and it will be necessary to ensure safety in the event of collisions or contact between humans and robots, or between equipment and robots. On the other hand, if you try to increase the sensitivity of the robot, you will have to increase the number of sensors on the robots, and the balance with costs has been an issue. Thus, a protective device called an "shock absorption type contact-detective outer cover" has been developed, which has two effects: it enables contact detection with fewer sensors while providing a shock-absorption function. However, there were no standards for the objective evaluaton test methods for the performance for contact detection and shock absorption. As this background, it is considered necessary to establish the test method for contact detection and shock absorption performance of contact detection outer cover as a new ISO standard. With this ISO test method, it possible to quantify the performance of shock-absorption type contact detective outer cover, and it is expected that further safety will be ensured and reliability will be improved by fitting the outer cover onto the service robots.
