The technology that lets robots think for themselves — and the policy that decides whether they should.
Autonomy Classifications
We classify every robot and system by its autonomy level:
| Level | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Fully Autonomous | No human intervention during operation | DARPA RACER in reconnaissance mode |
| Hybrid | Autonomous subsystems with human oversight | figure-02 in BMW factory, 1x-neo domestic tasks |
| Teleoperated | Human operator controls high-level decisions | unitree-g1 in UFB matches, engineai-t-800 in URKL |
