About this event
If your robots cross borders, your safety assumptions probably do too. This meetup is built for people who need to understand how ISO 10218 and R15.06 differ in practice, and what those differences mean when you are planning, reviewing, or scaling robot deployments across global markets. Standards conversations can get abstract fast, but the stakes are concrete: deployment timelines, system design choices, documentation burden, risk assessments, and approval confidence. This session focuses on the real-world gaps, overlaps, and decision points that matter when you are responsible for getting robotic systems deployed safely and correctly. About the Event This is an in-person community meetup for people working in and around robotics who want a clearer view of the safety standards landscape.
Who should attend
This is for people who need more than a surface-level standards overview and want to understand how safety requirements affect real deployment work. - You are a **robotics engineer or technical lead** who needs to understand how standards differences may influence system design, validation, or deployment decisions. - You are a **systems integrator, automation professional, or application engineer** working with robotic cells and want a clearer view of what changes across regulatory contexts. - You are involved in **safety, compliance, risk assessment, or quality** and want to compare how ISO 10218 and R15.06 may shape review processes and documentation expectations. - You are a **product manager, program manager, or operations leader** supporting robot rollouts across regions and need to spot standards-related friction before it slows a project down. - You work at an **OEM, end user company, startup, or deployment team** and want practical context for making global robot deployments smoother and more defensible. - You simply care about **robotics and industry best practices** and want to meet others in the community who are thinking seriously about safe, scalable deployment.
