Safety & Ethics — Responsible Robotics

Lab & Workshop Safety

• Eye protection when cutting, drilling, soldering, or using power tools.
• Power off before rewiring motors, drivers, or batteries.
• LiPo/Li-ion rules: store in fire-safe bag, never puncture, monitor charging, use correct charger.
• Heat: motor drivers and regulators can burn—test gradually and monitor temperatures.
• Mechanical safety: secure rotating parts, avoid exposed sharp edges.

AI Ethics

• Privacy: don’t capture or publish sensitive personal data without consent.
• Bias: test datasets for fairness and document known limitations.
• Transparency: explain model behavior and failure cases.
• Safety-first autonomy: define stop conditions and safe modes.

Compliance Standards (Baseline)

• Electrical: fuses, insulation, correct wire gauge, protected terminals.
• RF/Wireless: comply with local rules when using radio modules.
• Public demos: create clear safety boundaries and supervision.
