NIYO safety
How safety and human authority are engineered into the NIYO platform from the ground up.
Overview
NIYO inherits the Robotics Lab's safety engineering discipline: fail-safe design, runtime monitoring, formal assurance and guaranteed human authority.
What this covers
Defined safe states
NIYO always has a deterministic path to a safe state under faults.
Independent monitors
Safety monitors run independently of the autonomy stack.
Human override
Operators retain low-latency authority to pause and override.
Graceful degradation
Capability reduces predictably as conditions degrade.
