Nowadays, with the aging of society, the spread of safety requirements for personal care robots that assist people's lives autonomously is desired. As personal care robots become widespread, it is expected that someone who physical weakness such as children, isolated from industrial robots, coming into contact with the robots will increase. Though, the safety standards for personal care robots require to give consideration to safety for children, they do not specify specific methods of the consideration. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify necessary items when considering child safety for the personal care robots. In this study, we will clarify the items necessary when considering safety for children and inestigate experimental methods for evaluating safety considering children in contact.
