TDP4 — Split Role for Robot Control and Data Analysis

Separate Pilot (control) and Analyst (sensing) to reduce overload and improve detection.

Intent. Improve safety and sensor interpretation quality.

Context. Tight maneuvering; many sensors and datapoints; limited bandwidth.

Problem. One person can’t fly precisely and interpret everything while staying safe in a worksite environment. 

Solution.

• Pilot: vehicle state, collision safety, framing on request.
• Analyst: interpretation, communication
• Squad leader or BoO dispatcher: communication, decision making. 

Roles. Pilot; Analyst; Team Lead

Handoffs. Temporary gimbal nudges; full control swaps per TDP1.

Task Balance — Human vs. Machine.

• Human (Pilot/Analyst): manual flight/framing; analytic judgements; confirmations; task prioritization.
• Machine: stabilization, obstacle warnings, SLAM/map updates, detection proposals with confidence.

Consequences. Better flight safety and detection; requires two people and disciplined comms.
