RobotStop’s voice stop-request module
RobotStop describes a module that bolts onto existing robots and turns spoken stop requests into a wired protective stop.
- For
- Robot integrators adding voice stop requests to existing arms
- Worth noticing
- The demo is labeled “evaluation unit, pre-qualification firmware”; the page says the module does not replace existing emergency stops.
Field notes
The described stop path uses separate microphones, power rails, and microcontrollers for its two detection channels; either channel can trigger a latched stop. The page gives a ≤300 ms 99th-percentile latency figure and describes an acoustic self-test, but these are site claims rather than independently verified results. Its demonstration is marked as using pre-qualification firmware, and the page frames the module as an added layer rather than a replacement for established safety controls.
