The Urban Robotics Foundation brings together municipal, corporate and academic partners to ensure robotic technology is implemented in a way that is beneficial for all users. Currently, we are developing the ISO 4448 series, a standard that sets the parameters and procedures for automated motor vehicles at the curbside, and the movement of robotic service vehicles within pedestrian spaces. OUR WORK BENEFITS: - Cities: We help to inform the language and procedures for deciding, managing, constraining, permitting, and gating, service robots (robotic taxis and AMRs) - Pedestrians: We enabling cities to constrain the times, places, speeds, pathways, and volumes of robots in shared public spaces so that pedestrians are protected. - Fleet Operators: We support operators of logistics and other service fleets (e.g., maintenance, security) by informing a governance and communication infrastructure that makes negotiating concurrent access to city pavements, walkways, bikeways, laneways, etc. by multiple fleet operators both feasible and safe. - Robot Manufacturers: We support manufacturers of AMR service robots (e.g., sidewalk robots) by informing a communication infrastructure that enables a common machine and fleet conformance for acceptance into operating fleets and for city deployment.
