About this event
If you work with industrial robots, stopping behavior is not a side topic. It sits at the center of safety, system design, troubleshooting, and day-to-day operations. This meetup focuses on ISO 10218-1 robot stopping functions and protective stops so you can better understand what these terms mean in practice, how they differ, and why the details matter when people and machines share the same workspace. About the Event This is an in-person community meetup for people who want a clearer, more practical understanding of robot stopping functions under ISO 10218-1. The topic is technical, but the format is designed to be approachable: a focused session built around shared learning, discussion, and networking with others working in robotics. Rather than treating the standard as abstract complia
Who should attend
This meetup is for people who want a more practical, working understanding of robot stopping functions and protective stops, especially in real industrial contexts. - You work with **industrial robots** and want clearer insight into how stopping behavior is defined and applied. - You are an **engineer, integrator, technician, or robotics specialist** who deals with robot cells, system behavior, or safety-related decisions. - You support **operations, maintenance, commissioning, or troubleshooting** and need to understand what different stops mean in practice. - You are involved in **robot safety reviews, standards interpretation, or risk-related discussions** and want a stronger foundation in ISO 10218-1 language. - You are part of a robotics team and want to improve how your group talks about **protective stops, recovery, and safer operation**. - You value **in-person community and networking** and want to meet others who are serious about robotics, standards, and practical implementation. If you have ever been in a conversation where everyone used the same stop-related terms but meant different things, this event will feel immediately useful.
