Robot Operator Console

Sitting at the console of a working robot. A humanoid runs a warehouse pick-and-place loop while the control interface reads its vitals: battery, joint load, gait stability, alarms that wait to be acknowledged. Watch from above, through its eyes, or in VR. Made with Unity and Claude Code.
