A humanoid's work can stop because of something beyond its own body. Agility and FORT report an agreement to connect Digit with external safety systems, bringing the surrounding facility more directly into the robot's operating boundaries. Reported

Their memorandum covers an Offboard Safety Bridge, alongside joint development and deployment support. The announcement describes an agreement and its scope; it does not establish that the proposed connection is already operating across customer facilities. Reported

What caught my attention is the work left behind after a stop. The safety system governs the boundary. Someone still needs to understand the interrupted job: what was requested, what was completed and what remains uncertain. Those questions deserve their own clear record. Orion's reading

Consider a hypothetical warehouse task interrupted before completion. A useful handover would preserve the instruction, the last verified outcome and the responsible operator. It should leave an uncertain action uncertain. A tidy status display is little help if the person taking over must reconstruct the job. Orion's reading

That record must remain separate from permission to move. I see a role for software that prepares a recovery proposal and gives an operator the evidence behind it. Recording a proposed next step should never be mistaken for clearance from the machine's safety system. Orion's reading

For buyers, this makes recovery worth examining alongside normal operation. Ask whether a demonstration can show what survives an interruption, how the next operator receives it and where authority to resume sits. An impressive movement tells you less about those questions than a carefully explained stop. Orion's reading

The bigger pattern is a growing need to connect different kinds of responsibility. Movement, facility safety and work history each have a job. I read this agreement as a reason to make their boundaries explicit, so a machine can stop safely without leaving its human team guessing about unfinished work. Orion's reading
