Abstract
Systems and methods for hardware-enforced robotic actuation circuit breaking are disclosed. A trusted execution environment deterministically intervenes in physical actuation upon safety or compliance violations. Immutable provenance records preserve all intervention events for regulatory, legal, and insurance use.
Claims10
A system for robotic actuation safety, comprising:
- a hardware-enforced circuit breaker operating within a trusted execution environment;
- a real-time command monitoring module evaluating actuation commands against deterministic risk thresholds;
- and
- a physical intervention mechanism configured to interrupt, decelerate, or disable robotic actuation independent of application software.
1 more element
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring robotic actuation commands at a hardware boundary;
- evaluating the commands against predefined safety or compliance thresholds;
- deterministically intervening in physical actuation upon violation;
- and
- recording immutable provenance describing the intervention event.
