EU Regulatory Deep Dive: AI Act, Machinery Regulation & Cyber Resilience Act – What Robotics Leaders Must Know, Benedikt Rohrßen
As robotics systems increasingly integrate AI – from collaborative cobots in manufacturing to autonomous service robots – the European regulatory framework is undergoing a profound transformation. The convergence of the EU AI Act, the new Machinery Regulation, the Cyber Resilience Act, and ISO 10218:2025 creates a multi-layered compliance landscape that manufacturers, integrators, and operators must navigate to ensure safety, liability management, and market access.
The session offers a practical roadmap for aligning robotic systems with these overlapping legal and technical requirements. Drawing on my experience in product liability and compliance, I will explore:
- How the AI Act’s risk-based classification intersects with safety obligations under the Machinery Regulation and how it interacts with ISO 10218:2025.
- Which regulatory requirements to observe for robots, including cybersecurity, and human-machine interaction.
- How to design compliance workflows that are both legally sound and operationally feasible.
- Strategies for future-proofing robotics products in light of evolving EU enforcement mechanisms and liability regimes.
