The center should be an AI agent that understands the goal and works through explicit capabilities such as navigate, inspect, and grasp. ROS 2, vendor SDKs, and generated adapters can remain replaceable integration layers. Learned skills and whole-body control can execute below them, while hard limits, watchdogs, emergency stop, and motor loops stay outside the agent. AI can optimize the software around the robot; it should not be allowed to rewrite the safety boundary while the robot is running.
