Function defines form
Monkdroid does not begin with a human silhouette. It begins with a task, a person, and a place. Mobility, manipulation, sensing, power, and interface are selected only when they reduce risk or effort.
Candidate uses include environmental sampling, accessible transport of tools, inspection of hard-to-reach infrastructure, and support in regenerative field hubs.
Minimum safe architecture
- Low speed and force by default.
- Visible operating state and physical stop control.
- Local processing for sensitive data.
- Modular parts and repair documentation.
- Human approval for consequential actions.
