Section 30 of 55
29. Robotic Locking and Unlocking
Stable section ID: S05-CON-011-SECTION-30 · 30 content blocks
Locks used in robot-ready Interfaces shall support reliable actuation, state identification, inspection, and controlled release.
A locking system may be:
- Mechanically actuated.
- Electrically actuated.
- Hydraulically actuated.
- Pneumatically actuated.
- Tool-operated.
- Manually operated with robotic verification.
- Hybrid.
The lock specification shall define:
- Unlocked state.
- Alignment-ready state.
- Temporary-capture state.
- Partially locked state.
- Fully locked state.
- Secured service state.
- Fault state.
- Maintenance-release state.
Locking features should be keyed against incorrect operation and protected against accidental release. Where appropriate, locking and unlocking shall require different conditions, tools, permissions, or sequences.
Lock verification may use:
- Physical position.
- Mechanical indicator.
- Continuity circuit.
- Force or displacement signature.
- Torque record.
- Visual inspection.
- Smart Module input.
- Redundant sensor evidence.
- Digital command acknowledgment shall not be treated as proof of mechanical locking.
Unlocking shall require confirmation that structural loads, utilities, occupancy conditions, and temporary supports permit release. Emergency and manual release methods shall be defined where necessary.
