Interventions: Number of times a human must pause or reset the robot.

Set by Classify (AI): primary_function: 'Manipulation capability: sheet-metal loading pick-and-place' directly states manipulation as primary function. mobility: 'Navigation capability: Onboard perception and obstacle avoidance using six RGB cameras' and 'Precise yet adaptive locomotion' indicate mobile under own control. manipulator: 'Forearm subsystem with three degrees of freedom' plus hand with 16 DoF exceeds three-or-more-axis requirement. environment: 'Operated on an active automotive assembly line in an industrial plant environment' specifies industrial restricted-access. stability: 'Precise yet adaptive locomotion with rapid, accurate foot placement and real-time responsiveness to environmental changes' indicates active control of stability during dynamic locomotion. human_relationship: Operation on 'active automotive assembly line' with 'goal zero per shift' interventions indicates workers are segregated from robot workspace. application_status: 'BMW Group Plant Spartanburg deployment, contributing to production of 30,000+ X3 vehicles' demonstrates integrated application within production line. payload_and_tool: '25 kg' payload capacity for 'sheet-metal parts' constitutes ordinary industrial load. standard_pathway: Industrial mobile manipulator deployed on assembly line with 25 kg payload and dexterous hand falls under ISO 10218 industrial robot classification.

Per ISO 8373:2021 / ISO 10218 / ISO 13482 / ISO/CD 25785-1 — a robot is typically several of these categories at once, so each axis is assessed independently rather than picking one overall "robot type".
