The Inspection Robot Put Every Update Behind a Versioned Gate
A quadruped runtime joined navigation, voice, memory and hazard reporting without allowing unconstrained self-modification.
Summary
A quadruped runtime joined navigation, voice, memory and hazard reporting without allowing unconstrained self-modification.
Harness Robotic OS organizes a property-inspection system into robot, autonomy-skill, cognitive-agent, interaction and operations planes. Its Argos prototype combined quadruped navigation, stereo depth, multimodal analysis, voice interaction and hierarchical memory, while a safety gate converted execution traces only into versioned candidate updates. In the reported residential environment, waypoint reachability was 100%, outdoor localization error stayed below 10 centimeters, obstacle response below 200 milliseconds and alarm/report delivery reached 99%. Hazard detection ranged from 85–95% on representative cases. Those prototype figures are environment-specific, not a certification for unattended deployment.
