Agility Robotics partnered with Boston Dynamics to develop ISO standards and regulatory framework for dynamically stable robots
Jonathan Hurst· Agility Robotics· Robotics· 2026-03-27· about Boston Dynamics
“we then spent two three years designing the robots from the ground up inventing a whole safety strategy around how we would achieve this and partnering with Boston Dynamics to start creating the regulatory environment and set the ISO standards for dynamically stable robots.”
Why it matters
Boston Dynamics partnership for ISO standard setting indicates that safety certification is a non-technical execution problem that requires industry collaboration. This is a critical infrastructure bottleneck that affects deployment timelines across the humanoid robotics sector.
Investment implication
Companies involved in robotics safety certification, ISO standards bodies, and insurance underwriting for humanoid robots are positioned as critical picks-and-shovels. Agility and Boston Dynamics are effectively creating regulatory moats.
