Companies of all sizes and in nearly every industry are purchasing and deploying robots at a rate never seen before in North America," said Jeff Burnstein, President of A3. "As a result, the International Robot Safety Conference is more important than ever for integrators, manufacturers, and end-users who need to make sure their knowledge of robot safety and risk assessment is current. This event is part of our association's unwavering commitment to prioritizing the safety of workers as the demand for robots increases."

New for 2022, attendees will learn about the updates to the ISO 10218 robot safety standards, the latest work on mobile robot safety, and the growing importance of industrial cybersecurity. IRSC will help businesses reduce risk by ensuring personnel are familiar with robot and machine safety as well as current robot safety standards.
