Classification system for robot fitness

TUM creates seal of approval for robotics

When autonomous robots interact with humans and perform tasks independently, their sensitivity is crucial. This is what makes them safe and flexible. However, there is currently no standardized procedure for determining this sensitivity and thus individual robots’ fitness for physical interactions. Researchers at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed an evaluation scheme that can be used to compare industrial robots and, in the future, other systems such as mobile and humanoid robots or robotic hands.
