Summary
This study introduces safety standards for care robots, crucial for the elderly and disabled. It details verification methods and applies them to feeding robots, aiming to enhance safety and promote wider adoption.
Area of Science:
- Robotics
- Assistive Technology
- Safety Engineering
Background:
- Care robots are emerging assistive products for the elderly and disabled.
- While reducing human physical burden, care robots pose safety risks due to situational awareness limitations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish safety requirements and verification methods for care robots.
- To demonstrate the application of these standards using a feeding robot.
Main Methods:
- Development of a standardization framework for care robot safety.
- Definition of specific safety requirements and testing protocols.
- Case study applying the standard to a feeding robot's safety and performance.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive safety standardization for care robots has been described.
- Verification methods for testing these safety requirements are included.
- A feeding robot standard exemplifies the practical application of the framework.
Conclusions:
- Standardization is essential for ensuring the safe integration of care robots.
- This work is expected to facilitate the broader adoption of assistive care robots.
- The proposed standards address critical safety concerns in robotic care.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
