safety-checklist

Safety validation checks URDF joint limits, inertial properties, torque and velocity constraints, plus ROS 2 node error handling, watchdog timers, and state validation to ensure robotics systems meet safety compliance requirements before deployment.

Review joint limits, collision properties, inertial mass values, error handling mechanisms, watchdog timers, state validation logic, simulation vs real hardware labels, and explicit safety warnings to identify and close safety gaps in your robotics software and hardware configurations.

Yes. The checklist covers both URDF file validation and ROS 2 node safety checks, including joint constraints, inertia, error handling, watchdog timers, and state validation across your complete robotics stack.

URDF checks validate joint limits, torque and velocity bounds, inertial properties, and collision configurations to ensure mechanical constraints and mass distribution meet safety requirements.

The checklist validates error handling mechanisms, watchdog timers, and state validation in ROS 2 nodes to prevent unsafe states and ensure graceful failure modes across your robotics application.

Yes. The checklist requires explicit labeling of simulation vs real hardware contexts and clear safety warnings to prevent misuse of untested code on physical robots.
