About this Event


Deploying robots in real-world settings poses significant challenges, particularly in ensuring safety within unpredictable and dynamic environments. Dynamic safety guardrails are emerging as a foundational component in addressing these challenges, offering a proactive and robust approach to safe robot deployment.



Dynamic Safety Guardrails: A Foundation for Safe Operation

Dynamic safety guardrails act as a crucial software layer between the robot’s autonomy stack and control system. By intercepting and modifying commands in real-time, they ensure that only safe actions are executed. This proactive approach provides several key benefits over traditional reactive safety measures like emergency stops:

  • Minimizing Downtime and Disruptions: Prevents safety violations before they occur, reducing emergency stops that disrupt operations and lead to costly downtime.
  • Expanding Operational Capabilities: Enables robots to operate safely in more complex and dynamic environments, broadening their range of applications.
  • Smoother, More Efficient Operation: Modulates commands to provide natural and efficient robot movements instead of abrupt stops.



Addressing Challenges in Real-World Deployment

Dynamic safety guardrails tackle critical challenges that commonly hinder robot deployment:

  • Certification: They support building robust safety cases and simplifying certification processes. Products like Supervisor Pro are designed specifically with certification in mind.
  • Transition to Hard Real-Time: By providing a reactive safety layer, they allow planning systems to operate in non-real-time environments while maintaining lower Safety Integrity Levels (SIL).
  • Adaptability: Highly adaptable, these guardrails simplify deployment across new environments and robot platforms, from mobile robots to drones and manipulators.
  • Reducing Sensor Costs: They work seamlessly with existing sensors, eliminating the need for costly redundant safety sensors.



Targeted Solutions for Specific Robot Types

Dynamic safety guardrails address pain points specific to various robot types:

  • AMRs/AGVs: Prevent false-positive triggers from overly sensitive safety systems, enable navigation close to obstacles, and improve performance in dynamic environments. Proven successes include applications in warehouse automation and with AMRs like those from Rover Robotics.
  • Manipulators: Simplify motion planning in tight spaces, reduce overly conservative emergency stops, and handle perception uncertainties to prevent unwanted movements.
  • Autonomous Vehicles: Mitigate harsh emergency braking to protect cargo, ensure smoother corrective actions, and simplify modeling for control and simulation.



Mitigating Corner Cases

Dynamic safety guardrails excel in managing corner cases—unpredictable events that traditional systems struggle to handle. Their capabilities include:

  • Real-Time Reactions: Continuously monitor and respond instantly to unexpected events, maintaining safety independent of the planner’s capabilities.
  • Dynamically Feasible Corrections: Modulate commands to ensure actions are physically possible, resulting in safer, more predictable outcomes.
  • Model-Based Safety: Use mathematical models to anticipate safety violations, providing stronger guarantees than heuristic methods.



Benefits Beyond Safety

Beyond ensuring safety, dynamic safety guardrails deliver additional benefits that enhance overall robot performance and operational efficiency:

  • Increased Productivity: Enable robots to operate at higher speeds and tackle more complex tasks, driving productivity gains.
  • Reduced Operational Costs: Minimize downtime, reduce reliance on human supervision, and eliminate the need for redundant sensors.
  • Faster Time to Market: Simplify development, testing, and certification, accelerating the deployment of new robotic solutions.


Dynamic safety guardrails are a transformative advancement for achieving safe, reliable, and high-performing robot deployment in real-world applications. By addressing safety challenges, mitigating corner cases, and enhancing operational efficiency, this technology unlocks the full potential of robotics across industries.
