Abstract

ISO/TC173 is a technical committee, in charge of international standardization of assistive products (APs). Robotic technology (RT) is currently an important topic in this field. APs with RT will be included in future revisions of the scope of TC173. Cooperation between the AP and RT space is essential to reach suitable solutions of future standardization.
