An ISO working group is meeting in Barcelona to write safety standards. Memos from Figure's former safety lead, published earlier this year, provide a sober contrast to recent hype, detailing the immense difficulty in safely managing bipedal robots that can fall, misinterpret commands, or pose battery risks.

A new report from an IEEE study group outlines a crucial framework for developing safety and performance standards for humanoid robots, focusing on classification, stability, and human-robot interaction to pave the way for their safe deployment in human environments.
