This has prompted the need to define universal standards for the safety of machinery/industrial facilities and, thus, that of operators. The international, Type-C EN ISO 10218-2:2011 technical standard sets the safety requirements for the integration of industrial robots, industrial robotic systems and robotic cells. Robots-related safety standards: hazards and risks Robotic cells are defined as teams of machines that include one or more robots,
