Development of URC Testing & Certification System

Abstract

Ubiquitous robotic companion (URC) is defined as a network-based intelligent service robot and it is in the early stage on commercial. URC provides various services directly to a user at close hand compare to industrial robot, and thus malfunction or electric unstability of URC can be a significant problem to the user. The poor service quality can also make a bad robot image and it can be an obstacle in robot commercialization. In this respect, the safety and service quality should be guaranteed. This paper focuses on a test specification and certification system of URC to guarantee the service quality and safety.
