  • Identify fail-safe and override gaps
  • Prepare test scenarios for autonomous systems
INPUTS

Required input fields.

  • Robot type (required): Mobile robot, Industrial/collaborative arm, UAV/drone, Autonomous vehicle
  • Operating environment (required): Controlled, Shared human workspace, Public/unstructured
  • Autonomy level (required): Assisted, Partial autonomy, High autonomy
  • Human proximity (required): No proximity, Occasional, Close or collaborative

  • Fail-safe modes (required): Missing, Partial, Complete and reviewed
  • Human override (required): Missing, Partial, Complete and reviewed

Data handling: this interface uses the L2ET protected same-origin instrument engine. Do not enter confidential, regulated, privileged, incident, medical or sensitive operational data.

METHOD

Hazard Map logic.

Combines environment, autonomy, proximity, sensing, fail-safe and override evidence into a hazard map and test matrix.
