Quality Standards / Requirements

As humanoid robots move from labs to real-world settings the bar is no longer just motion or runtime. It’s safety, reproducibility, resilience, and accountability.

Emerging frameworks like ISO 13482 (for personal care robots) and IEEE P7001 (for ethical design) define how humanoids must behave around people: how they fail, recover, explain decisions, and avoid harm. These standards guide both hardware engineering and system behavior.

Some robotics teams now run structured validation pipelines — drawing from logs, simulation, and real-world feedback to test durability, usability, and long-term reliability. 

Without standardized proof, trust is impossible. And without trust, humanoids won’t scale.
