personal protective equipment, training,
and fact sheets and other written
materials intended to inform and change
worker behavior. There are two primary
thrusts to this area of occupational
robotics research: (1) Evaluation of
robotics technologies as preventive
measures for existing workplace hazards
and (2) development and evaluation of
interventions to reduce robot-related
injury incidents and improve the safety
and well-being of human workers
working with robotics technologies.
Specific research needs in this area
include:
• Collection and analysis of
differences in fatalities, injuries, and
near-miss incidences between
workplaces using robotics technologies
and similar workplaces without robotics
technology.
• Evaluation of robotics technologies
as interventions for preventing existing
hazards and resulting injuries in the
workplace such as musculoskeletal
disorders.
• Evaluation of training that helps
workers acquire skills, knowledge, and
abilities needed to work with robots in
complex and dynamic industrial
environments.
• Study of the effectiveness of
existing safety standards, certifications,
and regulations for industrial robot
safety (e.g., ISO/TS 15066, ANSI/RIA
R15.06, ISO 10218.01, ISO 10218.02,
UL1740) in ensuring the safety and
well-being of human workers.
• Research on new workplace
interventions to improve the safety and
well-being of human workers working
with robotics technologies, including
engineering controls and administrative
controls. Research may address costs
and benefits, such as an assessment of
the costs of the intervention and
impacts on productivity.
Translation: This type of research
discovers strategies to translate research
findings and theoretical knowledge to
practices or technologies in the
workplace. This type of research seeks
to understand why available, effective,
evidence-based interventions are not
being adopted, and to facilitate the use
of existing or newly developed
interventions. Occupational robotics
research needs in this area include:
• Research on aids and barriers to
employers using long established safety
procedures for protecting workers from
traditional industrial robots.
• Development and evaluation of
plain-language guidance on preventing
robot-related injuries to workers.
• Development and evaluation of
dissemination strategies to facilitate the
use by employers and other

stakeholders of existing and new
guidance.
• Study of awareness and acceptance
of organizations to using evidence-based
resources to implement robot safety
management programs.
Surveillance: Surveillance is a public
health term for the ongoing and
systematic collection, analysis, and
interpretation of data on health
outcomes (e.g., injuries and illnesses)
and contributors (e.g., behaviors or
actions), and the dissemination of these
data to those in position to take action.
Surveillance research includes
development of new methods, tools, and
analytic techniques. Current worker
injury data systems do not include
detailed information on how a robotrelated fatality or injury incident
occurred. There is case-based
information from investigations of
worker injury deaths conducted by
NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA).
However, these investigation findings
are limited to the traditional industrial
robots, and do not address emerging
robotics technologies. Additionally,
case-based information may not be
representative of all robot-related
fatalities. Occupational robotics
surveillance research needs include:
• Development of surveillance
methods and/or analytic techniques to
identify and monitor robot-related
injury incidents and risk factors, and
quantify the burden of occupational
injuries using existing data systems.
• Case-based investigations of
fatalities, injuries and near-miss
incidents involving new robotics
technologies to understand multifaceted contributors to the incident.
Background: The purpose of the
Request for Information is to seek input
on priority research areas that NIOSH
will address through the Center for
Occupational Robotics Research.
Information Needs: NIOSH is seeking
feedback on potential refinements to the
four broad research areas identified
above, any additional knowledge gaps
not addressed by these research areas,
and how the research areas should be
prioritized. Commenters are asked to
focus on research areas that NIOSH has
comparative advantage in, compared to
other federal agencies, academia, and
the private sector (i.e., worker safety and
well-being as opposed to robot
technologies and production). When
possible, NIOSH asks that commenters
provide data and citations of relevant
research to justify their comments.
NIOSH is also seeking recommendations
for key scientific articles addressing
worker safety and health and robotics
