Why the New ISO/ts 15066 is Important for the Robotics Industry

Collaborative robots are relatively new and standards are usually take a long time to write down, so it only make sense to have the new ISO/TS 15066 regulation freshly printed out in the last couple of weeks. As we are working with collaborative robots and are a part of the world of robotics, it makes sense to understand the importance of such a regulation and potential future standard. The regulation hopes to be incorporated into the ISO standard in the future after it has had a chance to be digested and assimilated. In fact, with a regulation that involves so much specific data, we need to take this information and build around it, the same as collaborative robots manufacturers and integrators need to do.
