Physical Machine Safety

A VLM is fine until it picks the wrong path.

Foundation models are now planning robot motion. BoundaryAI is the deterministic safety layer between the planner and the actuator — at microsecond-class latency, inside the control loop.

What we enforce

Limits that don't ask the model nicely.

Speed & separation

ISO/TS 15066 envelopes evaluated per trajectory before motion.

Worker exclusion zones

Hard-blocked end-effector intrusion. Verified at the controller.

Force & torque caps

Commanded force clamped regardless of model output.

Mode supervision

State transitions gated by active permits and lockouts.

Tool & payload verification

End-effector and payload must match the active program before motion.

Telemetry & replay

Every refused command logged with full sensor context for incident review.

Performance

Microsecond-class decisions. Zero bypasses.

Measured 2026-09-16 on a self-hosted release build, x86 workstation, loopback, engine as the sole decision maker with no cloud in the path. Policy decision: 137–170µs median, 0.48–0.60ms p99, over 8,000 evaluations against ISO 10218-1 and ISO/TS 15066 rules. Full API round trip including audit write and signed transparency leaf: 4.8ms median. Sustained throughput 201 evaluations/sec per instance. Your controller is not our test client — figures scale with host and policy size. Methodology and raw percentiles available on request.

Bring AI to the floor without rewriting your safety case.

We integrate alongside your existing functional-safety stack — not in place of it.
