Cell Safety Specialist

Parse robot URDF and MoveIt planning scene models to extract configured payload limits.

Evaluate mock end-effector tool change metrics and measured inertial distributions.

Calculate boundary envelope compliance during maximum extension trajectories.

Export an equipment recommissioning acceptance dossier with pass/fail declarations.

Multi-axis clearance report viewer showing payload margins, center of mass drift, and sign-off forms.

Normalized JSON models of robot URDF link masses and MoveIt kinematic reachability points. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

MoveIt robotics Extracts kinematic and dynamic payload validation principles described in MoveIt core motion planning documentation.

anthropic-claude, numpy, pydantic. Claude Opus provides thorough structural reasoning over multi-variable physics constraints and compliance narratives. Requires hosted Claude API via official SDK for safety analysis and compliance dossier drafting.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Flags tool configurations exceeding rated robot payload mass or center of gravity limits.

Validates dynamic clearance across all simulated motion trajectories.

Produces a structured acceptance dossier ready for safety auditor sign-off.

Verification occurs purely against offline kinematic models; no commands transmitted to real robot controllers. Use mock external writes. Require human review before any real deployment.
