Summary
According to a post on X by @agilityrobotics, Agility Robotics says Kevin Reese, its senior director of robotics safety, is project leader of ISO 25785-1. The standard is described as the first safety standard for dynamically stable industrial mobile robots, such as humanoids. Agility frames its role as helping write the rules while humanoid safety standards are still being set. The post describes the work as an effort to shape those rules rather than only follow them.

Why it matters
Builders and companies deploying humanoid and other dynamically stable mobile robots may eventually face a formal safety benchmark for these machines. Teams working in this area should watch for the draft text, its scope, and how it defines safety requirements. Because the source is a company post, the details should be checked against the published standard once it is available.
