LG Electronics Obtains International Standard Certification for Mobile Robot Safety Controller

First 'ISO13849-1' Certification for Safety Control Module Dedicated to Mobile Service Robots

[Asia Economy Reporter Sunmi Park] LG Electronics has proven its robotic technology by obtaining international standard certification for its mobile robot safety controller.

On the 28th, LG Electronics announced that its self-developed mobile robot "safety controller" recently received the "ISO13849-1" certification from DNV, a global testing and certification specialist organization. LG Electronics is the first to receive this certification for a safety control module developed exclusively for mobile service robots such as indoor and outdoor delivery robots and guide robots.

"ISO13849-1" is an international standard established by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) that covers overall safety standards for machine control systems. This safety controller monitors signals sent from sensors mounted on the robot in real time, detects risks, and enables the robot to safely decelerate and stop.

In particular, this controller is composed of a single module, which has the advantage of being universally applicable according to the specifications of each robot or customer requirements. Previously, LG Electronics verified safety according to different requirements for each product when developing autonomous service robots such as the "LG CLOi ServeBot" and "LG CLOi GuideBot."

Seungmin Baek, Executive Director and Head of the Robot Advanced Research Institute at LG Electronics ICT Technology Center, said, "As autonomous service robots requiring higher safety are rapidly spreading, LG Electronics plans to continuously secure world-class capabilities to lead the field of robot safety technology."
