Abstract
Robots and Robotic Systems, regardless of their level of automation, require formal human intervention during normal, degraded or recovery from failure processes.
Robotic applications in industry are so recent and expanding so quickly that the unique robotics related human factors safety developments and standards have not yet had a chance to be incorporated into professional educational programs or distributed to human factors engineers who are just being introduced to the field. This paper is offered to alleviate this professional growth deficiency by describing an approach and providing a format for an HF related robotic system safety assessment and development guide based on the newly released ANSI Robot and Robotic System safety standards.
