Briefing
Both robots run the same code in four tiers. Local reflexes with no AI stop the motors when something is close to the front sensor and send the robot home on low battery, ten times a second. Claude Sonnet makes most driving decisions from text or a camera frame, and Opus handles planning and conversation. Each session's memories go into a Supabase database.
Plante also had the rover stop when YOLO and Depth Anything saw her raise a hand. It worked, but not reliably enough to be the main safety mechanism; a text message saying stop was more reliable. Her write-up has photos but no video or logs of the incidents.
