  • Mobile service robot;
  • physical assistant robot;
  • Person carrier robot.

These robots typically perform tasks to improve the quality of life of their intended users, regardless of age or ability. ISO 13482 identifies the hazards associated with the use of these robots and provides requirements to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with these hazards to an acceptable level. ISO 13482 covers human-robot physical contact applications.

ISO 13482 presents significant hazards and describes how to deal with them for each type of personal care robot. ISO 13482 covers robotic devices used in personal care applications, considered as personal care robots. ISO 13482 is limited to grounded robots.

ISO 13482 does not apply to:

  • Robots moving faster than 20 km/h;
  • Robot toys;
  • water-based robots and flying robots;
  • Industrial robots within the scope of ISO 10218;
  • Robots as medical devices;
  • Military or public force application robots.

The scope of ISO 13482 is primarily limited to human care-related hazards, but includes pets or property (defined as safety-related objects) when appropriate, when the personal care robot is properly installed, maintained and used for its intended purpose.
