What it measures
Coverage and gaps of existing standards for humanoid robots, including stability and human-robot interaction. It is a roadmap, not a measurement.

IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Study Group – Humanoid Robots
The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Study Group – Humanoid Robots was launched in June 2024 to speed up humanoid standards work. It was led by Aaron Prather of ASTM International. Its final report, "A Pathway Study for Future Humanoid Standards" (September 2025), reviews existing standards, identifies gaps and proposes a roadmap for standards development organizations.

How it works
A one-year study with four planned deliverables: an analysis of which existing standards apply to humanoids, the gaps in the standards framework (safety, performance, and differences between industrial, home and service use), obstacles to closing those gaps, and a roadmap that suggests which standards bodies should act. The report was written with more than 70 experts.
Why it matters
The report states that industry-wide humanoid standards do not yet exist and that new standards are needed to certify the safety of human-robot interaction. It is an input to future standards work rather than a finished standard.
