Applying STAMP to safety standards of mowing robots
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of mowing robots in anthropic environment is increasing, leading to the call for specific safety standards. This is a challenging endeavour, however, because the user must usually be placed in the robot's workspace and the residents must frequently interact with the robot. Although specific safety standards for mowing robots do not yet exist, there are several mowing device standards and well-established principles of risk analysis and safety design that can and should be applied. This paper presents an overview of safety constraints for mowing robots, starting with a discussion of high-level system safety requirements, followed by methods for risk assessment (or hazard analysis) and a presentation of STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Modelling and Processes) as a safety strategy.

Utilising STAMP to define the First-into-Man system for medicines
The (so-called) pharmaceutical safety system is struggling. Part of the problem is failure to define the complexity of the system and design processes which are evidenced based and both adaptable and flexible for those who work in them. The size of the challenge is huge and global. This is why ACRES (Alliance Clinical Research Excellence and Safety) was established as a not-for-profit internati...

In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...

Hazard analysis is one of the most important elements in developing safe-critical systems. STPA (SystemsTheoretic Process Analysis) is a modern technique based on the new accident causation model STAMP (System-Theoretic Accident Model and Process) for analyzing hazard and safety issues, which can be applied early in the design process of a system to achieve an acceptable risk level. We have app...
