The aim of the report is to approach robot safety at macro-, meso- and micro-level integrally. The report gives an overview analysis of the problems and indicates a number of ways in which solutions can be reached. The report does not aim to be a guideline with respect to safety for practical implementations of robot installations. In a final paragraph further research is recommended: quantitative risk analysis, preventive measures, and research after the decision analytical backgrounds of prevention strategies. The report has the following structure. First the methodological basis will be discussed. The structure of safety problems is analyzed with the help of a systems approach: a system model and a general robot accident model have been developed. Next regulation of robots is described using four mechanisms, which particularly determine behavioral aspects of the directly involved groups at meso-/micro-level. The general robot accident model is then further analyzed. Accident scenarios are defined as the central theme in order to analyze robot safety, and the prevention of robot accidents is discussed.
