🌐 EXECUTIVE SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

High-throughput flexible manufacturing demands continuous, high-velocity workpiece inspection and pick-and-place manipulation on moving linear conveyors. However, industrial execution is constrained by two rigid operational thresholds: sub-second cycle latency ($< 1\,\text{s}$) and tight spatial mechanical tolerances ($\le \pm 2\,\text{mm}$).

Machined metallic workpieces (e.g., spur gears, cast iron valve housings) exhibit non-Lambertian reflectance, causing intense specular glare that deteriorates sub-pixel edge detection kernels. Concurrently, deep neural networks introduce excessive edge inferencing latency, while closed-vendor robot controllers restrict extrinsic matrix interchange.

This repository provides an open-source, vendor-agnostic reference implementation of the three-tier hybrid sorting architecture formalized in our research review:

1. Tier 1 (Optical Layer): Hardware-level cross-polarization ($0^\circ / 90^\circ$) eliminating specular saturation without software HDR latency.
2. Tier 2 (Kinematic Layer): Real-time Principal Component Analysis (PCA) eigenvector decomposition with third-order skewness disambiguation executing in $12\text{--}28,\text{ms}$ on CPU threads.
3. Tier 3 (Middleware Layer): Deterministic coordinate serialization via OPC UA (IEC 62541) and ROS 2 DDS.

MATHEMATICAL FORMULATIONS & CONTROL LAWS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Operator Cognitive-Physical Fatigue Metric F(t) in [0, 1]:
   F(t) = w_1 * (PERCLOS(t) / PERCLOS_max) + w_2 * (||p_neck - p_torso||_2 / Delta_limit)
          + w_3 * tanh( int_{t-T}^t ||tau_handover(t')||_2 dt' / Tau_norm )
   where sum(w_i) = 1.0.

2. Adaptive Closed-Form Cobot Velocity Attenuation:
   v_cmd(t) = v_nominal(t) * sigma( kappa * (d_min(t) - d_safety) ) * ( 1.0 - lambda * F(t) )
   sigma(z) = 1.0 / (1.0 + exp(-z))
   d_min(t) = min_{j in joints} || x_operator - p_j(t) ||_2

3. Repulsive Artificial Potential Field with Ergonomic Attenuation Decay:
   F_rep(p) = eta * ( 1/rho(p) - 1/rho_0 ) * (1 / rho(p)^2) * grad(rho(p)) * exp(-gamma * F(t))
   for rho(p) <= rho_0; else 0.

4. Kernel SHAP Local Additive Feature Attribution:
   phi_i(f, x) = sum_{S subseteq F \ {i}} [ |S|!(|F| - |S| - 1)! / |F|! ] * [ f_x(S cup {i}) - f_x(S) ]
   sum_{i=1}^M phi_i(f, x) = f(x) - E[f(X)]

5. Dynamic Braking Distance Metric:
   d_stop = (v_actual^2) / (2 * a_decel) + v_actual * (Delta_t_latency)
