FORT Robotics CTO Joins ISO Robotics Safety Committee, Strengthening Role in Emerging Standards

FORT Robotics has shared an update. The company announced that its CTO, Nathan Bivans, has joined the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO TC 299, the international standards committee for robotics. Bivans will contribute to Working Group 12, focused on safety for robots with actively controlled stability such as humanoid systems, and Working Group 13, which addresses safety for industrial and service robots. He is also scheduled to speak on the emerging role of AI in robotic safety at the International Robot Safety Conference.

For investors, this increased involvement in global safety standard-setting enhances FORT Robotics’ credibility and visibility among industrial, commercial, and service-robotics stakeholders. Participation in ISO working groups can give the company early insight into evolving regulatory and safety requirements, potentially allowing it to align its product roadmap with future standards and improve its competitive positioning in safety-critical control and communication solutions for robots. While this announcement does not directly indicate near-term revenue impact, it supports a longer-term thesis that FORT may benefit from growing regulatory emphasis on robot and AI safety, especially as humanoid and service robots move toward broader commercial deployment.
