Industry Advisory
Industry Advisory is the Institute for Humane Robotics' engagement model for robotics companies whose systems will live with people in homes, hospitals, and schools.
Overview
Why industry advisory matters now.
We work directly with product, safety, and leadership teams to define social boundaries, evaluate human–robot interaction before launch, and prepare for the standards and regulation that are coming. Engagements are selective and purpose-driven.
- Who it’s for
- Robotics and embodied-AI companies entering home, care, and education markets.
- A clear, defensible position on how your robot behaves around people.
- Fewer surprises in pilots, procurement reviews, and regulatory conversations.
- Access to the Institute's network across the US, Japan, and Europe.
What you get
How we work with you.
01
Social boundary design
Defining what a robot should and should not do around children, elders, and patients: proximity, persistence, persuasion, and data.
02
Pre-launch evaluation
Structured HRI and safety-architecture reviews against our evaluation framework, with prioritized findings your team can act on.
03
Standards readiness
Mapping your system to IEEE P7027 and adjacent standards so compliance is designed in, not retrofitted.
