MetriPlane v0.2.0 turns robotics incidents into replayable regression tests
Camera-free tool converts workcell state to verified evidence bundles and automated tests.
Miko997 launched MetriPlane v0.2.0, an open-source physical-observability tool designed for bounded robotics workcells. The tool addresses a common gap: despite logs, cameras, and simulators, teams often cannot reproducibly answer 'What physically happened?', 'What proves it?', and 'Can this be turned into a software check?' MetriPlane fills this niche as an observe-only evidence layer. The v0.2.0 demo uses a camera-free deterministic assembly-cell replay to generate a physical event ledger, deviation incidents, Cell Truth Reports, portable evidence bundles with checksums, replay commands, and—critically—a generated regression test that passes.
The key workflow: replay workcell state → physical event log → incident report → evidence bundle → local verification → automated regression test. The demo specifically replays a missing-tool scenario, yielding 6 events, 1 incident, and a PASS for the generated test. MetriPlane is intentionally bounded: it is local-first, camera/replay-oriented, and scoped to planar/tagged assets. It does not claim to replace robot controllers, safety systems, or full digital-twin platforms. Miko997 is seeking external technical feedback, especially from ROS, simulation, digital-twin, and manufacturing researchers, and has provided a reproducible issue with exact commands for reproduction.
- MetriPlane v0.2.0 converts replayed workcell state into evidence bundles and automated regression tests.
- Camera-free demo processes a missing-tool incident: 6 events, 1 incident, bundle verify pass, regression test PASS.
- Open-source tool focuses on physical observability for bounded workcells, not replacing controllers or simulators.
Why It Matters
Bridges the gap between physical incidents and software testing, enabling reproducible debugging in robotics and manufacturing.
