Crawler-readable evidence snapshot
Humanoid Robot Safety & Regulation Tracker
Biped separates public safety transparency from a claim that a robot is safe or unsafe. The tracker maps relevant standards, buyer evidence requests and deployment-level disclosure gaps, including the still-developing ISO work for dynamically stable industrial mobile robots.

Questions this tracker answers
Does missing public safety evidence mean a robot is unsafe?
No. It means buyers and readers cannot verify that control from the public evidence Biped tracks.
Is ISO/CD 25785-1 a final humanoid certification standard?
No. ISO lists it as under development; it addresses dynamically stable industrial mobile robots including bipedal robots.
Methodology and limitations
- • Standards status and scope are linked to standards bodies or recognized standards sources; draft work is not presented as final certification.
- • Deployment safety evidence is a disclosure and buyer-diligence layer, separate from readiness and separate from an engineering hazard assessment.
- • The August 21 review reconfirmed ISO/CD 25785-1 remains under development and explicitly includes bipedal/self-balancing industrial mobile robots in scope.
