Proving a robot is ready.
Evaluation, safety and certification
Before a robot works near people, someone has to show it is safe, secure and fit for a specific job. That means evaluation, certification, cybersecurity and the records that let a site say yes.
What we look for
- A buyer who must say yes before a robot goes live, and pays for the evidence.
- Methods tied to a standard, insurer or regulator that buyers already trust.
- Records that travel with the robot from the test cell to the site.
Questions we ask
- Who signs off, and what happens when a robot fails?
- Do customers and insurers accept the test, or only the vendor?
What gets built
- Evaluation against real tasks
- Safety certification and compliance records
- Robot cybersecurity and machine identity
