What is ISO 18646-4 about?

ISO 18646-4 is the fourth part of a multi-series standard that deals with the performance criteria in robotics for service robots.

ISO 18646-4 describes methods of specifying and evaluating the performance of lower-back support robots.

ISO 18646-4 applies regardless of the purpose and application of lower-back support robots and the driving methods (e.g., electric, hydraulic and pneumatic).

Note: Performance criteria in ISO 18646-4 are not intended for verification or validation of safety requirements

Who is ISO 18646-4 for?

ISO 18646-4 on performance criteria and test methods for service robots is applicable to:

Designers of robots
Companies manufacturing robotic components
Robot research and testing labs
Services consulting industries on robotic applications

Why should you use ISO 18646-4?

Service robots are semi or fully autonomous robots for automating commercial jobs. Service robots typically perform distant, dangerous and repetitive jobs.

ISO 18646-4 facilitates your understanding of performance of lower-back support robots. It defines the important characteristics and describes how to specify and test them which increase the performance of service robots significantly.

ISO 18646-4 also gives you test methods for assistive torque index and lumbar compression reduction which will enhance the accuracy, motion and load carrying capacity of service robots.
