Standard Terminology for Robotics, Automation, and Autonomous Systems
SCOPE
1.1 This terminology covers terms associated with robotic, automation, and autonomous systems. By providing a common and consistent lexicon, the purpose of this terminology is to facilitate communication between individuals who may be involved in the research, design, deployment, and use of robotic, automation, and autonomous systems, including but not limited to, for manufacturing, distribution, security, healthcare, response, etc. The terminology covers, but is not limited to, terms used in performance test methods of for example: robot arms, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots, and all other automatic or autonomous industrial systems.
1.2 For the terminology to be harmonious with the practices in the field, definitions have been drawn from the literature or other public sources when possible. When no definition is available, is similar but requires change for use within standards produced by Committee F45, or in dispute, a consensus-based approach will be used to resolve definitions and add them to the lexicon. The development of this terminology is taking place in close coordination with corresponding efforts in all Committee F45 subcommittees to ensure comprehensive and consistent coverage.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

3. Terminology
3.1 Terminology is delineated into multiple sub-sections of terms and definitions beginning with general definitions that may be
useful across all robotic, automation, and autonomous systems areas. Following are sub-sections for specific areas within robotic,
automation, and autonomous systems areas. Each F45 standard includes a statement in the Terminology section referencing the
sub-section(s) and term(s) within this standard. F45 standards may include terminology from one or more sections. For example,
A-UGV terms within A-UGV-specific Test Methods F3244 and F3499 include terms within General and A-UGV Definition
sections.
