Despite the growing body of literature highlighting the legal and ethical questions robots raise, robot developers struggle to incorporate other aspects than mere physical safety into robot design to make them comprehensively safe. The chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries established years ago use evidence-based frameworks that ensure the safety of these products EU-wide. However, these evidence-based frameworks have yet to be seen for robot technology. As a result, current robot technology raises many legal and ethical issues. The PROPELLING project aims to investigate how robot testbeds can be harnessed as data generators for standard-makers. To this end, the project focuses on testing safety requirements for lower-limb exoskeletons to understand whether standards, particularly ISO 13482:2014, address safety sufficiently and comprehensively and use the H2020 Eurobench testing beds and data as a means for appraising the standard. We suggest that linking experimentation settings with standard-making processes could speed up the creation, revision, or discontinuation of norms governing robot technology.
