From 8213741879cef941b389cd4710f272b6b62e93ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rUv Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 06:40:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?research(R17):=20industrial=20safety=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20second=20vertical=20composing=20loop=20primitives?= =?UTF-8?q?=20(#736)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Second exotic vertical demonstrating loop primitives compose to industrial safety. Parallel to R16 healthcare with different ADR-113 matrix rows (presence + vital-signs at coarser resolution) and R7 mincut becomes BINDING (not nice-to-have) due to hostile industrial RF environment. Three deployment scenarios: - Warehouse zone (5y): 0/zone vs 00-2000 camera+monitoring - Construction site (10y): per-project federation - Refinery/chemical plant (15y): adds CSI to gas+cam+badge infrastructure R17 vs R16 parallel: - R16: stationary patients, 30 m^2 ward, vital-signs row (chest, N=5), HIPAA - R17: mobile workers, 100-1000 m^2 zone, presence row (body, N=3-4), OSHA SAME ARCHITECTURE, different parameter regime. Five specialised cog roadmap items: - cog-fall-detection (5y): R12.1 + PPE-tuning - cog-zone-occupancy (5y): R12 PABS + R6.2.5 - cog-lone-worker-vitals (5y): R14 V1 rate-only - cog-worker-fatigue (10y): R10 gait + R15 - cog-multi-zone-orchestrator (5y): R6.2.5 + ADR-105 fed Why R7 mincut becomes binding: industrial RF has legitimate noise (cell, BLE tools, walkie-talkies) that must be disambiguated from sensor compromise. N >= 4 anchors required (already met by ADR-113 for multi-feature cogs). PPE-specific body model needed (R6.1 follow-up): Hard hat / high-vis / harness / tool belt / steel-toed boots change per-part reflectivity by ~5-15%. ~1-2 weeks labelled-data work for cog-industrial-pose. R10 gait taxonomy extends within humans: - Walking: 1.2-2.5 Hz - Fatigued: 0.8-1.5 Hz (slower + asymmetric) - Impaired: asymmetry > 25% OSHA-aligned pre-incident fatigue detection. Honest scope: - Synthetic data only; bench validation required for OSHA-grade - PPE-specific body model unbuilt - Outdoor/weather effects partly transfer from R10 - Worker consent + audit trail integration per-customer R17 closes parallel-vertical demonstration: loop has now shown VERTICAL-AGNOSTIC INFRASTRUCTURE: 1.
