The 2024 International Robot Safety Conference in Cincinnati will tackle new updates to the industry's most important standard in robot safety, ISO 10218.
Companies deploying robots can get clear guidance on how to keep human workers safe at the International Robot Safety Conference (IRSC) in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 1-3.
The conference is hosted by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), which develops robotic standards in the U.S.
One of the major topics at IRSC 2024 are the revisions to the industrial robot flagship standard - ISO 10218 - along with talks describing technologies and best practices around risk assessment, regulatory compliance, mobile and collaborative robotics and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI).
“The need for comprehensive robot safety knowledge couldn’t be more critical,” said Carole Franklin, director of standards development, robotics, A3. “For over 40 years, companies have relied on IRSC to provide such knowledge from the industry’s most influential experts. No matter how up-to-date attendees think they are now, they’ll leave with a greater understanding of robot safety and the standards they should be following to help keep their organizations safe for all.”
The ISO 10218 standard addresses conventional robots that are typically found behind a fence or other enclosure, and collaborative applications where robots are designed to work safely alongside human workers. This standard will be highlighted in three sessions:

The keynote presentation at IRSC 2024 will be given by electrical workplace accident survivor Lee Shelby. The conference will also include a tabletop exhibit hall, where attendees can meet with leading robotics safety companies to further discuss how to safely deploy automation in their operations.
