Abstract
Currently personal care robots market is in the early developmental stage, and it is expected that in personal care robots market it will officially establish international safety standard for personal care robots "ISO 13482" in 2013. The most important point for complying with safety standard for personal care robots "ISO 13482" is functional safety. It is necessary of tremendous resources for complying with it, and it will become a considerable bottleneck to commercialization of product. We consider steps of common framework for all personal care robots for reducing the burden. We introduce the versatile approach for extensively accomplishing functional safety as an example of Roboticbed.
