Public Release - 2026-07-23

A successful humanoid robot demo is not a deployment contract.

Artifact: observer_depth_profile_v1. This profile separates one completed action from a deployable operating envelope. Its minimum loss account is mission_loss = wrong_action_cost + recovery_cost + unsafe_exposure; task completion alone does not close the review.

Humanoid Robot Mission-Loss Profile v1 public evidence visual.

Scope

One manipulation result is evidence for one operating condition.

A folding, carrying, or walking demonstration can establish that an action occurred under a recorded setup. It does not by itself establish household reliability, safe interaction, broad object coverage, or unattended operation. The profile keeps the scenario and evidence date visible.

Completion rate does not price the cost of being wrong.

Loss

Completion rate does not price the cost of being wrong.

The review records mission_loss = wrong_action_cost + recovery_cost + unsafe_exposure. A system with a high completion rate can remain expensive or unsafe when failures are hard to detect, recovery is slow, or people and property remain exposed during the error.

A deployable boundary names both the fallback and the operator.

Handover

A deployable boundary names both the fallback and the operator.

A useful review states when the robot stops, how it enters a lower-risk state, who can override it, and which scenarios remain untested. This profile does not turn an exhibition result, production forecast, or isolated action into a safety certification or commercial-return guarantee.

1

scenario_id

The task, environment, object state, and operating condition under review.

2

evidence_asof

The date and test window through which the reported evidence remains current.

3

failure_mode

The observable way the action can become wrong, incomplete, unstable, or unsafe.

4

fallback_action

The bounded response that stops, degrades, retreats, or resets after a failure.

5

human_override

The trigger, channel, and accountable operator for taking control from the system.

6

coverage
