About this event
Designing a cobot application that is both productive and safe is where theory meets hard engineering decisions. This session focuses on one of the most important parts of collaborative robotics work: understanding ISO/TS 15066 and applying force limits in a way that stands up in the real world. About the Event This in-person event is centered on a practical question many robotics teams face: how do you design a cobot application to force limits without treating the standard like a box-checking exercise? ISO/TS 15066 is frequently referenced in collaborative robot design, but reading the document and translating it into an actual application are very different tasks. This event is built to close that gap. Rather than staying at the level of general safety language, the discussion will focu
Who should attend
This event is for people who want a more practical handle on how collaborative robot safety standards affect real application design. - You work in **industrial robotics** and want to better understand how ISO/TS 15066 influences cobot deployment decisions. - You are a **robotics engineer, controls engineer, integrator, or technical lead** thinking through force limits, contact scenarios, or collaborative cell design. - You are involved in **robot safety, risk assessment, or compliance** and want more context for how standards translate into engineering choices. - You are evaluating or building a **cobot application** and need clearer thinking around the tradeoffs between productivity, usability, and safety. - You are part of a **manufacturing, automation, or R&D team** exploring where cobots fit and what design constraints come with them. - You value being in the room with other people who care about **practical robotics implementation**, not just high-level discussion, and you want useful conversations with peers in the community.
