How Safety Monitor Works
1 Configure Safety Rules
Define safety parameters including speed limits, collision distances, operational zones, and emergency protocols based on regulatory standards (ISO, OSHA, ANSI).
2 Connect Robot Telemetry
Feed real-time data from robot sensors: position, velocity, proximity readings, battery status, and current operational zone.
3 Automated Safety Checking
The system continuously compares robot actions against safety rules, flagging violations in real-time with risk assessment scoring.
4 Generate Compliance Report
Produces detailed safety reports with violation logs, risk assessments, and actionable recommendations for ISO/OSHA compliance.
Pro Tips
- Run safety checks before deploying new robot missions
- Use real-time monitoring for continuous compliance
- Export reports for safety audits and regulatory inspections
- Customize safety rules based on your specific robot model
- Integrate with emergency stop systems for automatic response

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does this monitor support?
The monitor supports ISO 10218 (industrial robots), ISO 13482 (service robots), ISO 22737 (autonomous vehicles), OSHA 1910.212 (machine guarding), ANSI/RIA R15.06, and emerging AI governance frameworks like EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.
Can this be integrated with real robot controllers?
Yes! The monitor can receive telemetry data via REST APIs, MQTT, or ROS topics. It can also trigger emergency stops or safety alerts through integration with robot control systems.
How are risk levels calculated?
Risk levels are calculated using a combination of factors: proximity to obstacles (distance/speed ratio), speed limit adherence, zone violations, and historical safety data. The algorithm uses weighted scoring based on severity and probability of incidents.
What happens when a safety violation is detected?
The system immediately flags the violation with severity level, logs the incident with timestamp, triggers visual alerts in the dashboard, and can optionally send notifications via email/SMS or trigger automated safety responses (speed reduction, emergency stop).
Is this suitable for safety-critical applications?
This tool is designed for safety monitoring and compliance reporting. For safety-critical applications, it should be used alongside certified safety controllers and undergo thorough validation according to applicable standards (IEC 61508, ISO 13849).
How often should safety checks be performed?
For continuous monitoring, we recommend real-time checking (10-100ms intervals). For compliance reporting, run checks at mission start/end, during shift changes, and before any maintenance activities. Regular audits should be scheduled weekly/monthly.
Can I customize safety rules for my specific robot?
Absolutely! The safety rules JSON can be fully customized for your robot's specifications, operational environment, and regulatory requirements. You can add custom rules, thresholds, and compliance standards as needed.
