Abstract
The Robotics and Automation Society's (RAS) standards working groups continue to grow. Our current working groups are pursuing standards and guidelines in the following areas. - Autonomous Robots - Ethically Driven Nudging for Robotic, Intelligent and Autonomous Systems - Ontological Standard for Ethically Driven Robotics and Automation Systems - Recommended Practice for Human-Robot Interaction Design of Human Subject Studies - Robot Agility - Robot Task Representation - Standard Terminology for Human-Robot Interaction - Three-Dimensional Map Data Representation - Verification of Autonomous Systems Our newest standards working group, entitled "Standard for Semantic Maps for Autonomous Robots," is developing a standard that defines a reference model, fundamental data models, and an application framework of semantic maps for autonomous robots.
