Recently, care robots are being developed that incorporate robotics into assistive products that focus on daily care for the physically disabled or elderly with reduced physical function. However, although care robots can reduce the physical burden of human intervention, they can also be dangerous depending on their situational awareness. This study describes a standardization that defines safety requirements for care robots and includes verification methods to test their safety requirements. As an example of the application of this standard, a standard for the safety and performance method of a feeding robot is shown. This standardization study is expected to contribute to the spread of care robots in the future.
