As of today, robots exhibit impressive agility but also pose potential hazards to humans using/collaborating with them. Consequently, safety is considered the most paramount factor in human-robot interaction (HRI). This paper presents a multi-layered safety architecture, integrating both physical and cognitive aspects for effective HRI. We outline critical requirements for physical safety layers as service modules that can be arbitrarily queried. Further, we showcase an HRI scheme that addresses human factors and perceived safety as high-level constraints on a validated impact safety paradigm. The aim is to enable safety certification of human-friendly robots across various HRI scenarios.
