What happens when a robot makes an unsafe decision even though its hardware and software are working as designed? What evidence is needed when perception is used to protect a person? And what does emergency stopping look like for a humanoid that needs active control to stay balanced?

Join SecuRESafe (SRES) co-founders Jody Nelson and Gokul Krithivasan, along with special guest Marcus Rau, Head of Functional Safety and Cybersecurity Certification at SGS-TÜV Saar, for a fireside chat on robot safety in the era of machine learning and non-deterministic system behavior, spanning autonomous industrial and mobile robots as well as dynamically balancing humanoids.

Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM EDT / 5:00 PM CET
Location: Online via Zoom

Free to attend, with live audience questions.

What the Conversation Will Cover

The conversation will connect established functional safety standards, including IEC 61508 and ISO 13849, with emerging work on AI and robotics safety, including the developing ISO/IEC TS 22440 series and draft standards ISO 26058-1 and ISO 25785-1.

We’ll explore:

• How principles from automotive’s ISO 21448—Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) can inform robot safety.

• How IEC TS 62998-1 addresses related concerns in safety-related sensing.

• Why a broader system-level framework is needed to address misbehaviors.

• What evidence supports a credible safety argument for ML-enabled robots.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how these standards and principles complement one another and what robotics teams should consider when combining them into a safety approach.
