A script can print the wrong thing. An agent can make a messy branch and wait for review. A robot is different. If the software is wrong and the safeguards are weak, the failure can move through the physical world.</p> <p>That changes the posture.</p> <p>So the first rule for Reachy Mini in this workshop is simple: dry runs first, real motion last.</p>
