Abstract
As a partner in the International Space Station (ISS), Canada is responsible for the verification of all tasks involving Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator (SPDM). Those verifications cannot be performed using only software simulators since the accuracy of current contact dynamic models are yet to be confirmed. Instead, a solution involving hardware-in-the-loop simulation was retained. With this option, the space hardware is simulated while the contact dynamics is emulated using a rigid robot performing the tasks. Using this approach, the Canadian Space Agency developed the SPDM Task and Verification Facility (STVF). The approach suggested to validate STVF is based on first building confidence by comparing experimental results with pure simulation results for cases easy to model. Then, the complexity of the experimentations is increased. Preliminary test results presented in this paper show that STVF is performing well.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
