What is robotics testing?
Robotics testing validates autonomous systems that act in the physical world, where a fault becomes a safety event. Testriq tests industrial co-bots through to service humanoids, bridging simulation and physical deployment, against the international safety standards such systems must satisfy before they operate anywhere near people.

Navigating 2026 Global Robotics Hurdles
The complexity of robotic systems has reached a critical point where traditional software QA is no longer sufficient. Testriq addresses the five biggest global hurdles in robotics testing.
ISO 10218:2026 Compliance
Unlike traditional software QA (which follows ISO/IEC 29119), robotics has historically lacked a unified testing framework. This often leads to inconsistent validation across multi-vendor co-bot integrations. Our Fix: To ensure global compliance, we test according to ISO 10218-1:2026 (Manufacturers) and ISO 10218-2:2026 (Integrators). We provide structured test case specifications that go beyond implied safety, making functional requirements explicit and traceable.
Key Features:
- ISO 10218-1 Manufacturers QA
- ISO 10218-2 Integrators Audit
- Traceable Test Specifications
- Co-bot Multi-Vendor Integration
ISO 10218:2026 Compliance
Our Proven Robotic Testing Process
Our systematic approach ensures comprehensive robotic testing coverage, delivering reliable, safe, and high-performance robotic systems for your applications.
Step 1: Find Risks and Set Goals
We use FMEA to find hazards like crashes or battery overheating. We then finalize the required testing metrics for your project.
Key Activities:
- FMEA Hazard Identification
- Battery Thermal Profiling
- Mechanical Stress Analysis
- Project Metric Finalization
Step 2: Virtual Simulation (Digital Twin)
Testing scenarios virtually to identify hardware-software latency and AI pathing errors before physical builds.
Step 3: Proximity & Force Interaction Testing
Measuring stopping distances and contact forces to satisfy ISO 10218 collaborative safety limits.
Step 4: Verify Hardware Reliability
We test robots under extreme heat, noise, and vibration. These tests help identify early signs of wear or sensor damage.
Step 5: Ensure System Accuracy
Our team automates QA to sync sensor data with your enterprise systems. This confirms that all information is correct and consistent across your ERP and CRM.
Step 6: Audit Safety and Compliance
We conduct a final 24/7 stress test on your system. This ensures that emergency stops and power modes meet UL and CE safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our robotic testing services and methodologies.
The differences between RPA and traditional test automation lie in their integration level. RPA copies human actions directly through the user interface, making it perfect for legacy systems. Traditional automation integrates directly into backend APIs and scripts for long-term stability in the SDLC.
When implementing robotic testing for legacy enterprise systems, we use RPA bots to interact with the presentation layer. We provide complete workflow automation and data validation for your systems. This approach avoids the high cost and risk of changing your backend code.
The updated ISO 10218-1:2026 standard makes functional safety requirements explicit rather than implied. This process prepares your robots for global export and reduces the risk of expensive recalls and safety incidents.
Yes. To validate data from end to end, we configure bots to extract information from emails, ERPs, and spreadsheets, then verify that the data remains consistent across all your software systems. Our data validation protocols help ensure data integrity.
Physical AI refers to the trend where robots use Generative AI and simulation to "train" themselves in virtual environments. Fixed code is replaced by learned experience, making robots much more adaptable in changing, real-world environments.
