FORT Robotics CTO Joins ISO Robotics Safety Advisory Group, Enhancing Standards Influence

FORT Robotics has shared an update. The company announced that its CTO, Nathan Bivans, has joined the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO Technical Committee 299 on Robotics, and will participate in two working groups: WG 12, which focuses on safety for robots with actively controlled stability such as humanoids, and WG 13, which addresses safety for industrial and service robots. Bivans will also speak on a panel about the emerging role of AI in robotic safety at the International Robot Safety Conference.

For investors, this development underscores FORT Robotics’ deep involvement in setting international safety standards for next-generation robotics, including humanoid and AI-enabled systems. Participation in ISO standards groups can enhance the company’s visibility and influence over regulatory and technical frameworks that future market participants must follow. This positioning may support FORT’s long-term commercial prospects by aligning its technology with evolving global safety requirements and strengthening its credibility with enterprise customers and partners in industrial automation and service robotics. While the announcement does not directly indicate new revenue, it suggests a strategic focus on thought leadership and standards alignment, which could improve competitive differentiation and facilitate adoption of FORT’s safety solutions as robotics deployments scale across factories, homes, and public spaces.
