Minutes
- Members who have experience in safety:
- Andrei Kholodnyi has experience in safety for industrial systems
- Matt Droter has experience working on safety-critical ground robots from a project manager perspective
- Introduction seminar to functional safety.
- What can we do, given our small number of engineers who have experience in functional safety?
- List of best practices for things that a safe robot should do
- e.g. what should be on the start up checklist?
- e.g. how do you set up an estop that works safely?
- Define the minimum core set of packages to be safe?
- Could we define a minimum example, such as collision avoidance, and do the full vertical stack that is necessary to achieve doing that safely?
- Difficult because ROS itself is not certifiably safe, but we could do it on the assumption that ROS is certifiably safe. Or we could make a non-ROS monitor to watch over the system and do the safety analysis necessary to show that the safety monitor is free from interference from ROS.
- A generic safety monitor for use with a ROS system?
- List of best practices for things that a safe robot should do
