Abstract
Human operators use tele-operated service robots for performing more or less hazardous
operations (manipulation of heavy and/or dangerous products) in more or less hostile
environments (nuclear reactors, space missions, warehouses, etc). Anyway, independently
of the operation, the robot has to interact with both the environment it is working on and
with human operators. Therefore, it is essential that the design (which include both software
and hardware) of the robot involves no risk, or at least an acceptable level of risk, neither for
the operators, nor for the environment nor for the robot itself.
Nevertheless, it is not always possible to make a system free of failures in its design or
operation. Apart from the risk inherent to the use of the mechanisms themselves, these
systems work in hazardous environments, where the probability of the risk is higher than
normal. Should a failure happen, its consequences could even involve the loss of human
lives. (Neumann, 1994) documents ...
