About This Item
TS ISO 8373 is a vocabulary standard for robots and robotic devices. It provides a common technical language for robots and robotic devices used in both industrial and non-industrial environments, helping ensure that concepts are understood consistently in design, operation, maintenance, training, and documentation.
Why robotics needs a dedicated vocabulary
Robotics combines mechanics, sensing, control, motion planning, and task execution, so terms such as robot, robotic device, manipulator, axis, or programming can be used differently across sectors. The main value of this standard is to align those meanings through a shared terminology that reduces ambiguity in technical communication.
Technical context covered by the standard
In general technical use, the vocabulary extends beyond industrial robots to terminology associated with robotic systems in non-industrial settings as well, including service, educational, research, and other application areas. This makes the standard relevant not only to factory automation, but also to robots and devices designed to operate in diverse environments and roles.
- Supports consistent use of terminology.
- Creates a common language across industrial and non-industrial robotics.
- Provides a reference point for technical documentation, training, and engineering communication.
- Clarifies conceptual distinctions between components and functions in robotic systems.
This TSE publication is based on ISO 8373 and is now withdrawn. Its practical value lies in defining how robotics terms should be understood and used in a standardized way.
