What is ISO 18646‑2- Service robots about?
ISO 18646‑2 describes methods of specifying and evaluating the navigation performance of mobile service robots.
Navigation performance in ISO 18646‑2 is measured by pose accuracy and repeatability, as well as the ability to detect and avoid obstacles.
Note-
This document is not applicable for the verification or validation of safety requirements. It does not deal with safety requirements for test personnel during testing.
Who is ISO 18646‑2- Service robots for?
ISO 18646‑2 on Performance criteria and related test methods for service robots- Navigation is applicable to:
- Robot manufacturers
- Robot users
- Researchers
- Scientists
- Testing facilities
Why should you use ISO 18646‑2- Service robots?
The future is autonomous, and robots are becoming more and more prevalent. Navigation is an important function of a robot. ISO 18646‑2 specify performance criteria and test methods for navigation of mobile service robots that can be used by you to improve the navigation.
ISO 18646‑2 defines performance characteristics, describes how they are specified and recommends how to test them. Testing facilities can use these methods.
ISO 18646‑2 lays out tests to determine the ability of mobile robots to detect the obstacle and measure the distance to obstacles of different geometry and material.
