The fair city of Tsukuba, which (as you know) is located in Ibaraki
Prefecture, Japan, has recently become home to the new Robot Safety
Center. A collaboration between a number of organizations including
Japan's Automobile Research Institute (JARI), the center has areas for
testing various robots and exoskeletons for things like obstacle
detection, electronic jamming resistance, durability, and more. As
well as developing safety standards for the devices, it is hoped that
within the next five years it will provide certification services for
new robots as they become commercially available. Some eighteen tests
have been installed at the facility thus far, and we must say that it
looks like fun! See some examples after the break.
