Method

Purpose of the Method

The method applied on this website is designed to establish stable terminology and conceptual boundaries for domestic robotics. The objective is not to provide technical implementation guidance, but to create a neutral reference structure that allows consistent interpretation across discussions involving robotics systems operating in residential environments.

Definition Approach

Definitions on this site follow a structural approach rather than a product-oriented perspective. The focus lies on conceptual clarity, environmental context, and system role within household environments.

Descriptions therefore emphasize the operational context of robots in residential settings rather than specific technologies or manufacturers.

Source Anchoring

The reference model is anchored in internationally recognized terminology standards, safety frameworks, and academic research related to robotics and human-robot interaction.

Relevant source material is documented on the Sources page.

Scope Discipline

• No product comparisons or vendor references.
• No engineering guidance or design recommendations.
• No regulatory interpretation or compliance advice.
• No operational deployment instructions.

Versioning

Changes to definitions or structural descriptions are documented through the public Changelog. Minor editorial adjustments may not be listed.
