robot-safety

Self-evolving runtime infrastructure for Physical AI and embodied agents. Ground AI agents into robot bodies with e-URDF, sandbox safety, capability routing, praxis capture, physical memory, runtime intervention, and skill evolution.

Open authorization and accountability infrastructure for physical AI: short-lived capabilities, local action gates, replay protection, signed receipts, post-quantum ML-DSA-65, fleet policy/revocation distribution, and a zero-dependency offline browser verifier.
