Robot functions
List safety-rated functions, limits, diagnostics and assumptions supplied by the robot manufacturer.

Complete application, not arm
Treat collaboration as a property of the installed task, tool, workpiece, layout, controls and people—not a product label.

FUURAA thesis
A collaborative-capable robot becomes a collaborative application only after integration risks and operating modes are demonstrated.
Engineering map
Turn the title into engineering objects that can be observed, measured and reviewed.
Each layer states the boundary to establish and the evidence needed for the next decision.
Application hazards
Add the tool, workpiece, fixtures, material flow, process energy and trapping geometry.
Operating organisation
Define who sets up, observes, restarts, maintains and authorises changes.
Verification questions
Write the questions first, then decide whether a demo, test, pilot or operating record can answer them.
Each question needs an object, conditions, denominator, threshold and accountable decision owner.
- 01
Which claim applies to the robot, and which to the application?
- 02
What hazards appear only after the final tool and workpiece are fitted?
- 03
Which modes permit a person to enter or remain in the workspace?
- 04
Who accepts the residual risk before production starts?
Evidence to preserve
Enable the next reader to reconstruct conditions, results, failures and the decision.
A conclusion alone loses reviewability; raw records, configuration and exclusions matter too.
- 01
Evidence package 1
Final as-built cell description and interface map
- 02
Evidence package 2
Application risk assessment linked to implemented controls
- 03
Evidence package 3
Commissioning results for normal, fault and recovery states
Scope boundary
State what this evidence still cannot be generalised to.
- 01
A manufacturer declaration for the robot does not cover the complete application assembled by an integrator or user.
- 02
This is an engineering reading and decision framework; it does not replace application-specific risk assessment, conformity work, procurement acceptance or professional advice.
