Robot product development path · Gate 01
Turn a promising robot idea into a measurable job, a bounded operating environment and a reviewable evidence plan before selecting hardware.
Inputs
Named users, operators, maintainers and affected people
Observed workflow, task frequency, exceptions and present baseline
Environment, payload, reach, speed, runtime and interface constraints
Initial hazard, privacy, cybersecurity and jurisdiction scan
Outputs
Use-case statement and operational design domain
Prioritised, uniquely identified and testable requirements
Acceptance metrics with baseline, target and measurement method
Requirements-to-evidence matrix and an initial risk register
Core work packages
Map normal work, hand-offs, delays, workarounds and rare but consequential exceptions. Do not define the robot from a staged demonstration.
State surfaces, lighting, weather, connectivity, people, objects, access controls and conditions that require fallback or stop.
Separate needs, system requirements and design choices. Give each requirement one owner, rationale, verification method and change history.
Assign analysis, inspection, demonstration or test to each consequential requirement; identify independent review where harm could be material.
Gate review
Does the use case describe useful work rather than a preferred robot shape?
Can every success metric be measured under a named workload and time window?
Are people, foreseeable misuse, maintenance and degraded modes represented?
Is every consequential requirement linked to a future evidence record?
Has the team stated what would cause the concept to stop or change direction?
Primary source gateways
Sources checked 4 August 2026. FUURAA provides professional bilingual context and analysis; source owners control current versions, terms and scope.
Requirements, interfaces, technical reviews and verification logic.
Map, measure, manage and govern AI risks where learned functions are in scope.
Identify industrial-robot safety scope early enough to shape requirements.
