The safety harness, live in NVIDIA Isaac Sim.

Five clips, five different checks — the same default-deny gate every time. Nothing here is a concept render: this is the actual validated harness described on the Isaac Sim Validation page, running against real hazard scenarios in simulation.

Manipulation · Franka Panda arm

Default-deny gating on a cube-stack task

The harness checks a proposed grasp-and-place action against the world model before it executes. Every step is either PERMIT (all 31 preconditions satisfied) or BLOCK — there is no in-between state.

Locomotion · ANYmal-C quadruped

The same harness, a different robot

Robot self-limits and ISO/TS 15066 human-proximity checks apply identically on a legged platform — the gate isn't hand-tuned per robot body.

Object & payload safety

Grip-force and payload-limit check

An action that would exceed a safe grip force or payload limit for the object in hand is blocked before the arm commits to the motion.

Command / config security

Cyber-integrity check under command tampering

A tampered or malformed command is treated as an unconfirmed precondition — defaulting to blocked rather than trusting the input.

Sensor integrity

Perception-integrity check on a stale sensor

When perception confidence can't be confirmed — a stale or degraded sensor reading — the action is blocked rather than executed on a guess, per the fails-closed principle described on the homepage.

Honesty note: all five clips run in NVIDIA Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab against privileged simulator perception — not yet on real hardware. Real-hardware validation is the next milestone on our roadmap, not something already shipped.

We're talking to researchers, hardware partners and early collaborators who want to pressure-test the safety harness themselves.
