ISO/TC 299 is the ISO technical committee responsible for standardization in the field of robotics, excluding toys and military applications. It develops international standards covering robot terminology, safety requirements, performance criteria and modularity for industrial, service and collaborative robots. Its work underpins the regulatory and interoperability framework for robot deployment worldwide.

- The committee maintains foundational documents such as ISO 8373 (vocabulary), the ISO 10218 series (industrial robot safety) and ISO/TS 15066 (collaborative robot safety). By harmonising definitions and safety criteria, ISO/TC 299 enables consistent certification, risk assessment and cross-border deployment of robotic systems.
