Abstract
An architecture for a VLSI sensory-motor system is presented. It makes use of ideas from behavior-based robotics and biology to achieve an obstacle avoidance behavior in an unstructured environment. Sensory-motor coordination is achieved by correlating a map of the visual field with a map which represents the robot's body. Rapid decision making is facilitated by a post-receptor foveation scheme which permits the fixation of the open pathway and the localization of obstacles through spatial gradients. The foveation scheme uniquely combines space-variant processing with the possibility for high-resolution, per-pixel spatio-temporal operations across the focal plane. Only a small number of computationally simple operations are used per-pixel, potentially leading to implementations with small pixels and high fill-factors.

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
