Robotics — Infrastructure for robot applications — Part 1: Framework

Scope

A series of standards is proposed to provide information for system integrators and facility owners regarding robot and infrastructure integration design and best practices, specifically on operating procedures and data exchanges to achieve compatibility, safety, security, and reliability in the interaction of multiple robots with infrastructures.

The information provided within the series also offers guidelines on the operating procedures to be followed by robots, as well as on what messages to exchange and how to sequence them, thereby ensuring compatible, safe, secure, and reliable operation between robots and infrastructures.

The first in the series, Part 1 will address the overarching framework of Infrastructure for Robot Applications (INFRA). Part 1 will contain the list of the elements of INFRA, including lifts (elevators), automatic doors, security systems, shared space management systems, alarm systems, notification systems, monitoring systems, shared marker systems and physical environmental classifications.

The following parts will provide specific requirements and guidelines for each element of INFRA.

Part 2, proposed in parallel to Part 1, will address the requirements for interfacing with lifts and automatic doors. Subsequent parts will be developed in order of market needs.
