🤖 SD.31.06 • Humanoid Robot Observability

Humanoid Robot Observability

Make humanoid robot AI explainable. Every motor command, every balance decision, every manipulation action—observable, queryable, and auditable.

"Why did the robot do that?"

Finally, an answer that takes seconds instead of incident reports.

Query Any Event Instantly

Structured EventIDs make fleet-wide incident investigation possible

🔍 Drop Investigation

Reconstruct every decision when a robot drops an object

SELECT * FROM events
WHERE event_id LIKE 'robot.manipulation.%'
AND unit_id = 'ROBOT-A7-001'
AND timestamp BETWEEN
  '2026-01-30T14:00:00Z' AND
  '2026-01-30T14:05:00Z'
ORDER BY timestamp;

⚖️ Balance Analysis

Track all balance corrections fleet-wide

SELECT unit_id, event_id,
  correction_magnitude_deg
FROM events
WHERE event_id =
  'robot.locomotion.balance_corrected:1'
AND date = '2026-01-30';

👤 Human Interaction Audit

Review all human proximity events

SELECT event_id, distance_m,
  response_action, response_time_ms
FROM events
WHERE event_id LIKE
  'robot.safety.human_%'
AND shift = 'DAY';

🔧 Maintenance Prediction

Identify motors showing wear patterns

SELECT unit_id, joint_id,
  AVG(torque_nm) as avg_torque,
  COUNT(*) as correction_count
FROM events
WHERE event_id =
  'robot.motor.torque_spike:1'
GROUP BY unit_id, joint_id;

Incident Investigation: Before vs. After

How structured observability transforms robot incident analysis

❌ Without Event Model

1

Incident Reported

Robot dropped component, worker reports near-miss

2

Video Review

Review security footage from multiple angles

3

Log Extraction

Download robot logs, correlate with sensor data

4

Root Cause Analysis

Why did grip fail? Sensor? Software? Wear?

5

OSHA Report

Compile findings for workplace safety compliance

Why Humanoid Robot Observability Matters

Structured events enable capabilities impossible with traditional logging

Worker Safety Audit

Every human proximity event, every force limitation, every emergency stop—traceable and explainable.

Fleet-Wide Patterns

Identify systemic issues across all robots. Detect motor wear, calibration drift, and failure patterns.

Regulatory Compliance

Automated reporting for OSHA, ISO 10218, and workplace safety requirements.

Predictive Maintenance

ML models trained on structured events predict failures before they cause incidents.

Cycle Time Optimization

Understand exactly where time is spent. Optimize movements across the entire fleet.

Human-Robot Collaboration

Track every interaction. Build trust through transparency. Enable safer cobot operations.

Workplace Safety Compliance

OSHA, ISO 10218, and Cobot Standards

Humanoid robots working alongside humans require comprehensive safety documentation. Event Model provides the structured audit trail needed for OSHA workplace safety compliance, ISO 10218 robot safety standards, and emerging cobot collaboration frameworks. Every movement, every force limitation, every human interaction—documented and queryable.
