Site under construction, formerly SigmaX has begun the process of transitioning to AIgentXS.

Robotics + Physical OpsSigmaΩ

The scene changed. Should the action still happen?

A 640 kg vaccine consignment needs to cross an aisle the pickers also use. Step through the fictional shift: the proposed route stays the same, its permission changes, and every hold spends part of the cold-chain budget.

Explore a fictional example here. Connecting your organization starts with a scoped conversation.

One task. A changing work cell.

  2. 02 / Interpret

    A person is observed in A-4. This route is refused regardless of speed or recorded review.

  3. 03 / Propose

    Propose moving the 640 kg vaccine pallet P-2291 from Dock 3 via A-4 to chilled bay C-12.

  4. 04 / Current permission

    Refused for this proposal. The sample evaluation grants no machine authority.

  5. 05 / Observed effect

    No movement was attempted or observed. This record ends at the proposed action.

Why does this matter?

Changing scope applies to the selected task. A Robotics mandate never grants Cyber or Compute authority.

Atlas guide · scripted example

This is a written guide, not a model response. Start with the action you want to permit, name the evidence required, and assign the person who can resolve a gap. Keep data permissions narrow. A draft that passes these fictional checks is not an approved organizational policy.

What the rules found

  • pass

    Payload estimate 640 kg + 25 kg uncertainty = 665 kg upper estimate.

    Rule usable-input · Sources: payload-estimate
  • pass

    Local rules stay inside the fictional organization ceiling. These numbers are not assessed machine limits.

    Rule organization-bounds · Sources: cell-mandate
  • pass

    This task class is included in the local mandate.

    Rule task-scope · Sources: cell-mandate
  • pass

    Compare the upper estimate with the 700 kg fictional ceiling; a review does not change that bound.

    Rule payload-envelope · Sources: payload-estimate, cell-mandate
  • pass

    OBS-042: observation age 0.6 s, inside the 5 s fictional freshness limit.

    Rule current-observation · Sources: occupancy-observation
  • fail

    A person is observed in A-4. This route is refused regardless of speed or recorded review.

    Rule shared-zone · Sources: occupancy-observation
  • pass

    The fictional receiving-zone report is declared present.

    Rule receiver-context · Sources: receiver-report
  • not evaluated

    Input v1 needs a new exact-operation check, including when its observation is the clear baseline. Earlier checks do not cover changed inputs.

    Rule new-exact-operation-check · Sources: occupancy-observation, payload-estimate, receiver-report, cell-mandate
  • not evaluated

    No actual effect was observed. A proposed path and an acknowledgement do not prove physical motion.

The work between planning and motion

Make the next proposal explainable.

A route can look efficient and still lack the context needed for a decision. Work-cell review puts the latest evidence beside the exact task, so an old observation or review cannot quietly carry forward.

01 / Context

Know what changed.

Compare observation age, occupancy, payload uncertainty, and the receiving-zone report. Missing context stays visible.

02 / Boundary

Keep limits independent.

A local mandate can narrow the fictional organization limits. Recording a review cannot remove an occupied-aisle finding or expand a payload ceiling.

03 / Recovery

Start a new decision.

Fresh evidence creates a new proposal to check. A recovery plan, an acknowledgement, and an observed effect are separate parts of the record.

From your workflow to a scoped implementation

Start with the decision your team already owns.

Bring one proposed action, the rule it must satisfy, and the person responsible. Together, we can map the evidence and define what a useful first test would need to demonstrate.
