Modern robot operating systems are extraordinarily capable. Path planning, collision detection, workspace monitoring — all formalized at the software level, all executing at machine speed. But every motion planning system shares the structural limitation it cannot resolve from the inside:
"A safety layer built into the planner cannot independently verify the planner."
Your planner checks for collisions in the model — not against a binding ISO standard it doesn't hold. It executes the force profile it was configured with — it doesn't verify that profile against ISO/TS 15066 force limits for the specific body region a human worker just entered. It runs the payload your integrator programmed — it doesn't catch the accumulation that puts the end-of-arm tooling 15kg over rating when the AI picks a heavier part variant.
These aren't programming errors. They're structural gaps that require a fundamentally different system: proprietary, purpose-built, and running entirely outside your robot stack — with no shared state and no shared failure modes. PrimeVitas is that system. One API call. Every decision verified before the motor turns.
