CYCOGS ® Brand RIN, Registration, License and Insurance information
The CYCOGS ®
Company understands that as robotics become more prevalent, robots will require the protection of numeric identification, licensing, registration and insurance.
Why license robotics?
The most fundamental aspects are ownership and responsibility. Having a licensed and registered AI Robotics system can clearly define who owns the equipment which is important for theft recovery, insurance and maintenance. Much like your automobile. Having a registered robot can help insurance ratings and offer some peace of mind in the event your robot is stolen; recovery may be possible. From the law enforcement angle, having your licensed aerial drone may prove your drone was "NOT the one we are looking for" as related to some infraction or crime.
Licensing and the (RIN) Robot Identification Number
Check out
Licensing will evolve much like the automotive world is using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Robotics will use an RIN (Robot Identification Number). Additionally, RIN numbers will require standards to signify a manufacturers designator, model, year, and major features incorporated in a unique ID number. The RIN number.Harri Luuppala at www.Pulurobotics.fi in 01/15/2018 had developed an RIN format.
This format is found at pulurobotics.fi/page/robot-identification-number.This Robot Identification Number (RIN) format design by Harri Luuppala of Pulu Robotics OY, who has waived all copyright or neighboring rights to the Robot Identification Number Worldwide.

CYCOGS Robot Identification Number (RIN) Examples.
Example,
USACYCG AMTHEB 230101WID 665 001 12C
Example Hi2WAM
USACYCG SMTHCT 230101WID 525 001 149
Example WA
USACYCG NMTNRT 230101WID 924 001 15c
As a specific example, the
The MSR robot attributes include: A Autonomous
M Mobile Robot
T Indoor Top of a floor operation
H Holonomic movement and arms
E Embedded On-Board computing
B Battery power
Select a date, say January 1st, 2023.
Year = 23
Month = 01
Day = 01
Plant code:
Sequential number, Model = 6 MSR
Color, let's say mostly Blue = 6
Voltage, uses 48VDC Power Packs, = 5
and let's say it's the first one manufactured that day, = 001
RIN version number = 1
This adds up to a pre-checksum number of USACYCGAMTHEB230101WID6650011.
Next you need to run this ASCII data string in a checksum calculator to compute the CheckSum8 Modulo 256 value.
We use the www.scadacore.com/tools/programming-calculators/online-checksum-calculator for this.
At the checksum calculator, plug in the value USACYCGAMTHEB230101WID6650011 into the "ASCII Input" field, and click the "AnalyzeDataAscii" button.
You will see a series of calculations. Note the "CheckSum8 Modulo 256" calculation is 2C.
Append this to the pre-checksum RIN number and you have the completed RIN number of USACYCGAMTHEB230101WID66500112C.

Commercial Robotics Insurance
The
As the Robotics insurance industry evolves, the effective use of a Robot Identification Number (RIN) will enable insurance companies to accurately rate and correctly determine liability rates for insurance coverage.
A robotic digital tape backup library system should not have the same insurance rates as a large jet powered Area Drone carrying 1000 gallons of fuel. Like any technology, there is a risk of damage and loss relating to the AI Robotics Automation due to rare failures such as in equipment, software, programming, including human factors like human negligence. To reduce such risks of financial loss affecting the company, lessee and or owners using AI Robotics equipment, taking out robot insurance represents a necessary expense. Your insurance company policy should equally protect against third-party damage, as such a risk is possible during normal robot operation. Humans/People (plants and animals also) can undoubtedly do the unexpected and may not recognize the peril or the possible damage that could occur.The Purchaser/Operator/Lessee/Owner of the AI Robotics Automation System is typically responsible for its operation and its use.
