Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have now been used in various applications in order to assist people in many situations, e.g. transportation and certain services in hospitals and factories. As a service robot, interaction between human and robots is unavoidable. The interaction can be occurred in various forms, e.g. tele-presence and human-robot collaboration. Human and robots work closely with each other resulting in physical risks that need to be managed carefully. A number of research works of AMRs have been conducted in recent years as an increase in demand and technology viability. However, as the development of primary functions is the first priority in development phase, safety concern is usually ignored. In this research, the safety standard ISO 13482, associated with personal care robots, is considered in the design phase. Hence, the risk will be minimized. In this case, the service robots is developed in the context of hospitals, especially for the cart moving operation assistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
