Skills
SafeCore permissions
Updated Sep 26, 2026
MANUSH SafeCore™ is the low-level safety system underneath every MANUSH robot. For a global robotics company, trust may become as important as intelligence — so every skill must declare the envelope it needs, and MANUSH enforces it at run time.
What a skill declares
- Speed —
max_speed_mps: the fastest the robot may move its base or end-effector while the skill runs. - Torque —
max_torque_nm: the highest joint torque the skill may command. - Proximity —
min_human_distance_m: people closer than this trigger a protective slow-down or stop. - Tool authorization —
tools: the only tools the skill may actuate. - Restricted zones —
restricted_zones: named areas the skill must never enter. - Supervision —
requires_human_supervision: whether an operator must be present. - Remote shutdown — always enabled; MANUSH Cloud can stop a robot remotely.
What MANUSH reviews
Every version is checked against the full SafeCore checklist before approval:
| Control | Review question |
|---|---|
| Speed | Is max_speed_mps appropriate for the task and environment? |
| Torque | Is max_torque_nm the minimum needed? |
| Proximity | Is min_human_distance_m respected in every behaviour? |
| Collision detection | Are contacts detected and handled without uncontrolled impacts? |
| Emergency stop | Does e-stop halt every behaviour immediately? |
| Restricted zones | Are declared zones honoured? |
| Human detection | Are people detected in all tested lighting and crowd conditions? |
| Tool authorization | Are only declared tools actuated? |
| Battery safety | Is low battery handled with a safe return? |
| Software permissioning | Is there no privilege escalation or SafeCore bypass? |
| Remote shutdown | Does the skill respond to MANUSH Cloud remote shutdown? |
| Anomaly detection | Do faults raise alerts and stop safely? |
All twelve must pass for approval. Use MANUSH Sim's Safety testing environment with the Safety testing and Failure injection scenario toggles to gather evidence before you submit.
Standards
For industrial robotics, the 2025 revisions of ISO 10218 provide international safety requirements for robot systems and integration. They do not cover every service or consumer scenario, so MANUSH applies a broader product-specific safety and compliance programme on top of them.
