Fault injection, zero-downtime, novel environment, code review
RSP members: $349· Team pricing available for 5+ seats
You survive chaos. You can reprogram a robot mid-shift. You close the sim-to-real gap. You handle edge cases nobody trained you for. You do not need help.
Questions are weighted across these domains:
4 rounds. 2 hours. No second chances.
Pass: Fix 4 of 5 injected faults
Pass: Zero production stoppages
Pass: Robot completes task in unknown env
Pass: Fix all safety-critical bugs
Type: Fault Diagnosis Scenario
You're operating a Locus Origin AMR fleet in a 400,000 sq ft DC. It's 2:47 AM during peak season. Robot LR-047 stops mid-path: NAV_LOCALIZATION_FAILURE_047, LIDAR_SCAN_DEVIATION: 340%, Battery: 67%. The robot cannot be physically reached for 8 minutes due to fork traffic. What is your FIRST action?
Correct: C
Before taking action, you must understand WHEN the deviation began. If it started suddenly (impact/reflective surface) vs gradually (accumulating error), the fix differs entirely. A remote restart mid-error risks compounding position uncertainty. Rerouting traffic (D) may be needed but only after diagnosis.
