Beacon Listens.

Behavioral anomaly detection across signal streams — industrial machinery, robotic sensor fusion, and edge telemetry. Beacon reads vibration, IMU, encoders, cameras, and rack-floor sensors. Without rules, without retraining, without GPU compute.

🤖   Robotic Sensor Fusion
LIDAR, IMU, encoders, cameras, SLAM, and thermal streams fused into a single behavioral baseline. Obstacle, drift, and sensor-degradation anomalies surface in real time, on the edge CPU.

What Beacon Detects
Environmental Hazards
LIDAR occlusion events, unexpected obstacle proximity, and point cloud density drops that indicate physical hazards the robot is navigating toward.
LIDAR_OCCLUDEOBS_CLOSEDENSITY_DROPSCAN_FAIL
Motion Anomalies
IMU jerk events, wheel slip from encoders, and actuation failures that indicate traction loss, payload shift, or mechanical degradation during operation.
IMU_JERKENC_SLIPPOSE_DRIFTACT_FAULT
Sensor Degradation
Camera blur, lens contamination, IMU drift over time, and LIDAR return rate drops — sensor health anomalies that compromise navigation quality before errors surface in downstream systems.

How It Works
Step 01
Fuse & Tokenize
Readings across all sensor streams are fused and mapped to a shared behavioral vocabulary. Each sensor contributes a token class — heterogeneous inputs become a unified behavioral sequence.
LIDAR+IMU → tokens
Step 02
Sliding Windows
Token sequences roll across time windows sized for the robot's operational cadence — from 10ms for fast manipulators to 1s for AMR navigation cycles.
W = 20 cycles
Step 03
Compare to Baseline
The current window's behavioral fingerprint is compared against the calibrated baseline. The structural shape of signal co-occurrence tells the story of whether the system is behaving normally.
structural divergence score
Step 04
Alert & Act
Divergence above threshold triggers an alert — classified by sensor stream of origin. The robot's safety system receives a structured signal, not just a raw sensor value.
divergence above threshold → HALT/WARN
