At the centre of the hall stands a full-body robot built only from eRobotics designs: eServo-200 drives in its 26 rotary joints, eActuator-50 push rods at the ankles, eGripper-3F hands, eVision-4K eyes and an eLiDAR-360 crown. The core board docks behind the chest window, and EoS brings the body up.

eVision-4K gives the head 4K stereo cameras with depth over Gigabit Ethernet. The eLiDAR-360 crown sweeps the whole hall: 360°, 100 m of range and 0.1° resolution. EoS would turn both into data the rest of the body can use.

An emergency stop has to beat every other task. EoS's motor service stops a motor in one call, and the scheduler runs that task first. Afterwards, new firmware arrives over the air into the spare A/B slot, and eBoot checks its signature before switching.
