Abstract
In Japan, the human resources that support Japanese society will be insufficient due to an aging society with a rapidly declining birth rate. Service robot technology is expected to be the solution for social issues, such as nursing, welfare, transport, household and safety for peace of mind. By putting service robots to practical use at home and in public, people's quality of life and convenience will be enhanced. Many service robots that operate with many and unspecified groups or individuals under various circumstances still have high residual risks because human safety verification methods have not been established. To solve these issues, we have mainly developed safety testing techniques, such as durability and so on. We are aiming for practical applications of service robots that have safety technologies in the near future.
