Values and ethics can screen what a robot wants to do, but only a deterministic gate decides what the wheels do.
In QERRA-v2 Classical (v2.1.0), I decoupled the Supervisory Gate from high-level planners so it holds exclusive authority over motor velocity commands.

Robotics isn’t only about watching a machine move. It’s about understanding its sensors, control systems, programming, and limitations.

Hands-on exposure to advanced technology can give engineering students new questions to investigate.
