FUURAA thesis
Contact acceptability is scenario-specific and must be measured where contact can actually occur.
Engineering map
Turn the title into engineering objects that can be observed, measured and reviewed.
Each layer states the boundary to establish and the evidence needed for the next decision.
Instrumentation
Document calibration, geometry, sampling, uncertainty and repeatability.
Configuration control
Lock payload, tool, speed, path, software and safety parameters to the result.
Verification questions
Write the questions first, then decide whether a demo, test, pilot or operating record can answer them.
Each question needs an object, conditions, denominator, threshold and accountable decision owner.
- 01
Which contacts are transient and which can clamp?
- 02
Were sharp or small contact surfaces represented?
- 03
Were worst-case motion and payload tested?
- 04
What retest follows a material change?
Evidence to preserve
Enable the next reader to reconstruct conditions, results, failures and the decision.
A conclusion alone loses reviewability; raw records, configuration and exclusions matter too.

Evidence package 1
Contact-scenario selection rationale
- 02
Evidence package 2
Calibrated raw force and pressure records
- 03
Evidence package 3
Configuration-linked acceptance and retest plan
Scope boundary
State what this evidence still cannot be generalised to.
- 01
Measured contact limits do not address non-contact hazards or untested body regions and geometries.
- 02
This is an engineering reading and decision framework; it does not replace application-specific risk assessment, conformity work, procurement acceptance or professional advice.
