# Safety

Robpod Studio is a tool for programming industrial and collaborative robots. A robot is heavy and extremely powerful regardless of its speed. A pause or long stop in movement can be followed by a fast hazardous movement. Even if a pattern of movement is predicted, a change in operation can be triggered by an external signal resulting in an unexpected movement.

Therfore:

1. All general safety regulations based on your local country must be respected while programming the robot (i.e. Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and ISO/TS 15066).
2. Robot specific instructions provided by robot constructors must be respected.&#x20;

Robpod Studio can execute motion programs on the robot or perform motion operation. In the following guide all actions that trigger a robot motion are marked with <img src="/files/wRrVkNBOhWBwfbKQR1sb" alt="" data-size="line"> warning signal.
