Dear All,

I have been asked to look into Safety and Reliability of
mobile robots. There are plenty of litterature in the
field of safety concerning robot manipulators, but I have not
found anything mentioning mobile robots.

So, can anyone direct me to any book / publication which
addresses safety or reliability of mobile robots. Furthermore,
are there any known cases of accidents involving humans
and mobile robots.

Sjur
