Physical AI · Embodied-AI governance

Compliance for the AI that moves

Robots, cobots, AMRs, drones and autonomous vehicles are becoming regulated machinery. KollGuard is the system-of-record that governs your embodied AI by attestation — a register, functional-safety integrity, CE readiness, and an exportable safety case — so you can prove conformity, not just claim it.

  • A register for every deployed machine + KGAI risk assessment
  • Safety functions with target-vs-achieved PL / SIL integrity
  • CE-readiness wizard for the EU Machinery Regulation
  • Safety Case / Declaration-of-Conformity PDF export
  • Hash-chained, tamper-evident incident ledger
  • SBOM → CVE via OSV.dev for the software supply chain

Embodied AI is entering the regulated zone

Software autonomy now drives machines that can injure people and property. Regulators responded: the EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 pulls AI-enabled and autonomous machinery into scope, cobots answer to ISO 10218 / ISO/TS 15066, AMRs to ISO 3691-4, and connected machines carry IEC 62443 and UNECE cyber duties. The evidence bar — functional safety, a conformity route, a safety case, an incident record — is the same paperwork a spreadsheet quietly loses.

KollGuard makes that evidence a living record instead. It does not touch the robot — no live telemetry, no remote stop, no plant-floor network scan. It governs by attestation: you register each system and its controls, and KollGuard keeps them readiness-scored and audit-ready.

What ships in Physical AI

Every capability below is live in the product today.

System register + machine-class templates

Inventory every deployed robot, cobot, AMR, drone or autonomous vehicle. Machine-class templates pre-fill the applicable standards and the likely conformity route; KGAI drafts the risk assessment and a photo → vision auto-fill starts the record from an image.

Safety functions with PL / SIL integrity

Record each safety function with its target vs. achieved integrity — ISO 13849 Performance Level (PL) and IEC 62061 SIL, with PFHd bands — and track proof-test-due dates. KGAI suggests the safety functions a given machine class typically needs.

CE-readiness wizard

Walk the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 gate: the wizard determines whether you take the notified-body or self-declaration route, lists the gaps that remain, and counts down to the 20 January 2027 date the regulation applies.

Safety case & Declaration of Conformity

Export a Safety Case / Declaration-of-Conformity PDF that pulls together the system record, its safety functions, and its evidence — the attestation document an assessor or notified body expects to see.

Incident ledger (hash-chained)

Log safety events and near-misses to a sha256 hash-chained, tamper-evident audit ledger. KGAI triages each incident, and the ledger feeds your safety case and vigilance duties.

KGAI — risk, safety & triage

KollGuard AI drafts machinery risk assessments, suggests safety functions for a system, and triages incidents — attestation work the register turns into structured, reviewable records rather than free text.

SBOM → CVE via OSV.dev

Upload a software bill of materials for a system and KollGuard resolves known vulnerabilities against OSV.dev — the software-supply-chain view that IEC 62443 and UNECE R155/R156 ask embodied systems to hold.

Measurable acceptance parameters

A reference of the numbers audits turn on: ISO 13850 stop categories, ISO 10218-1:2025 ≤ 250 mm/s reduced TCP speed, the ISO 13855 light-curtain formula, and the PL / SIL PFHd bands — so your targets are set to a real bar.

Who it’s for

Robotics & cobot builders

Industrial arms and collaborative robots heading for a CE mark under ISO 10218 / ISO/TS 15066.

AMR & warehouse automation

Autonomous mobile robots and AGVs governed by ISO 3691-4, with secure OTA in scope.

Drone & UAS operators

Airframes and payload autonomy that need a functional-safety and vulnerability record.

Autonomous vehicles

On- and off-road autonomy carrying ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156 cyber duties.

Manufacturing & logistics

Plant-floor and fulfilment fleets that must show functional safety and a paper trail per machine.

Healthcare & service robotics

Surgical and service robots under UL 3300 and the EU AI Act’s embodied high-risk rules.

A compliance system-of-record, by design. Physical AI governs your machines through registration, attestation and evidence. It does not actuate a robot, run a physical kill-switch, ingest live runtime telemetry, or scan your OT / plant-floor network — the story is governance and readiness, and that boundary is deliberate.

Frequently asked

Does KollGuard control or monitor my robots in real time?
No. KollGuard is a compliance system-of-record for embodied AI — it governs your machines by attestation. It does not connect to a robot, actuate a stop, read live sensors, or scan your plant-floor / OT network. You record and evidence each system; KollGuard turns that into readiness and audit-ready documents.
What is the EU Machinery Regulation deadline?
Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive and starts to apply on 20 January 2027. It brings AI-enabled and autonomous machinery squarely into scope. The CE-readiness wizard tells you whether you take the notified-body or self-declaration route and what gaps remain before that date.
How do PL and SIL work here?
For each safety function you set a target integrity — an ISO 13849 Performance Level (PL) or an IEC 62061 SIL, with its PFHd band — and record the achieved level plus the proof-test-due date. The gap between target and achieved is what your safety case has to close.
Which plan includes Physical AI?
Physical AI is included on Growth ($99/mo) and Enterprise. It sits alongside the AI System Register and EU AI Act classification as part of KollGuard’s AI-governance coverage — no separate SKU.
What can I export for an auditor or notified body?
A Safety Case / Declaration-of-Conformity PDF per system, drawn from the register, its safety functions, and its incident ledger — plus the hash-chained incident audit trail itself as tamper-evident evidence.
