Cases

SCARA_01

Selective Compliance Robot

PARTIAL

What AI Said

unknownGeneral Purpose Arm

What Actually Is

SCARA Robot — Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm

Why It Failed

Vocabulary Gap

AI used generic terms instead of precise mechanical classification. The vocabulary gap prevented correct identification of the selective compliance architecture.

DELTA_02

High-Speed Parallel Robot

FAIL

What AI Said

unknown3-Axis Platform

What Actually Is

Delta Robot — High-Speed Parallel Kinematic Robot

Why It Failed

Structure Misinterpretation

AI recognized the parallel structure topology but missed the kinematic function — high-speed pick-and-place capability inherent to delta geometry.

CYCLOIDAL_03

Eccentric Cycloid Disk Mechanism

PARTIAL

What AI Said

unknownReduction Unit

What Actually Is

Cycloidal Drive — Eccentric Cycloid Disk Reduction Mechanism

Why It Failed

False Negative

AI failed to identify the unique cycloid tooth profile. The eccentric cycloid disk was misclassified as a standard gear assembly — a false negative in mechanism recognition.
