Establishing such standards is an essential prerequisite for progressing these vehicles from the laboratory to lager-scale, widespread use. This ongoing research presented here aims to fill this gap by exploring standards in related areas, assessing their applicability, and examining possible derived specifications adapted to mobile robots operating on sidewalks and similar traffic environments. As part of our methodology, we draw upon findings from the development of two delivery robot prototype vehicles and a literature review. By establishing a foundation for the design and assessment of future standard drafts, our research supports the broader adoption of mobile robots and contributes to safer urban sidewalks.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Technology::629: Other BranchesSocial Sciences::388: TransportationComputer Science, Information and General Works::006: Special computer methods::006.3: Artificial IntelligenceTechnology::620: EngineeringMobile Robots on Sidewalks: Legal Context and Resulting Requirements for Autonomous Last-Mile Delivery in GermanyConference Poster not in Proceedingshttps://doi.org/10.15480/882.14493https://sites.google.com/view/lab2realgap/home10.15480/882.14493Conference Poster
