A mechatronics company is developing advanced robotic arms for use in manufacturing and

healthcare industries. During product testing, some mechanical failures and software

glitches were found that could cause injuries or operational failures.

Additionally, there is pressure from management to release the product early to capture

market share, even before full safety certification is obtained.

Write a report that:

a$)$ Explain how safety standards $($such as ISO certifications for robotics, OSHA

regulations$)$ and environmental considerations should be applied before releasing the

robotic arms. $[35$ marks$]$

b$)$ Evaluate the ethical concerns related to rushing product release versus ensuring

user safety and legal compliance.

$[30$ marks$]$

c$)$ Proposes an ethical and sustainable approach for the company's product launch

strategy, balancing innovation speed, public safety, and long$-$term reputation.

$[35$ marks$]$
