Overview of UL 4600 training
This course is for those who need to demonstrate that state-of-the-art safety practices and rigor were employed in the development of autonomous systems. Discussion topics include safety principles, tools, techniques and life cycle processes for building and evaluating the safety of fully autonomous vehicles. Throughout the course, participants will learn how to build a safety framework for autonomous products, starting with autonomous vehicles (AVs), autonomous robotics, off-road and fleet vehicles, as well as other areas where AV safety is paramount.
This 4-day virtual training course highlights modern-day autonomous robotics, industrial automation, sensors and semi-automated technologies and how they can be developed for safety. Participants will learn how current safety standards provide a current path to compliance. Standards include:
- UL 4600, the Evaluation of Autonomous Products
What topics does the UL 4600 training cover?
Introduction to industrial automation: How do robots consider the safety of autonomous operations?

Autonomous robotics in the industrial landscape

Autonomy and the associated technology

Introduction to robotic and autonomy safety frameworks

Current Robotic safety standards frameworks

Safety assessment

Other relevant autonomy safety standards
