BS EN 62849 provides guidelines to evaluate the performance of this machinery.
BS EN 62849 will cover the generic performance test methods for mobile household robots within one document. However, this current version is applicable for indoor floor supported wheeled or wheel-track robots with a focus on mobility and power consumption related performance. As the need for manipulation related performance grows, it will be added into this generic performance standard.
BS EN 62849 applies to mobile household robots and provides performance testing and evaluation methods for common features of various mobile household robots.
Note: BS EN 62849 is neither concerned with safety nor with performance requirements.
BS EN 62849 on switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations is useful for:
Mobile household robots often include automatic machinery for cleaning the floors and other household activities.
BS EN 62849 provides you with test methods to evaluate the performance aspects like units, pose measurements, capability of homing function, operation time per single change, managing a single step, and obstacle avoidance. Evaluating these performance characteristics of mobile household robots helps you to identify flaws in the mechanisms of the robots and help you enhance their quality.
