Safety & Standards
ISO 10218
ISO 10218 is the international safety standard for industrial robots, with Part 1 covering the robot itself and Part 2 covering robot systems and integration. The 2025 revision substantially reorganized the standard and absorbed the collaborative operation requirements formerly detailed in ISO/TS 15066, specifying requirements for functional safety, protective devices, and collaborative applications.
Why it matters for physical AI
Certification against ISO 10218 is the gateway to selling and integrating robots in industrial settings, and its collaborative provisions define the compliance envelope for robots sharing space with workers.
Build physical AI
Put these concepts to work on real hardware
Axol is a dual-arm robot built for physical AI — teleoperate it, collect demonstrations, and deploy learned policies out of the box.
