Whitepapers & Technical Documentation

Level 3 — Technical Foundation. Rigorous, verifiable, citable. No marketing language.

H1 — Security & Privacy

Privacy Architecture: Privacy by Physics

This document details Volta's privacy architecture, which enforces data privacy through physical sensor constraints rather than software policies. The downward-facing camera design makes personal data capture physically impossible, aligning with GDPR Article 25 requirements.

H2 — Safety

Safety Architecture: Three-Layer Protection System

Technical documentation of Volta's three-layer safety architecture: EN 60335-2-107 compliance (reactive), privacy-preserving predictive vision (predictive), and floating hexoskeleton contact detection (physical). Each layer addresses a distinct temporal phase of safety events.

H3 — Design Principles + H4 — Philosophy

Design Philosophy: Symmetry, Specialization, and System Thinking

Volta's design principles are grounded in three commitments: hexagonal symmetry for equal performance in all directions, specialized intelligence rather than general-purpose robotics, and treating the lawn as a living system rather than a surface. This document details each principle with operational definitions.

H5 — Multi-Unit / Scaling Systems

Fleet Intelligence: Collective Knowledge from Distributed Agents

Technical documentation of Volta's fleet intelligence framework. Individual units contribute cellular telemetry to a collective knowledge base. Field data from 108 US residential properties validates the heterogeneous growth hypothesis and demonstrates the value of per-cell lawn profiling at scale.

Whitepapers NOT Created (insufficient KB material)

Per the epistemological framework, the following whitepaper categories were evaluated but cannot be created because the KB does not contain sufficient material:

  • H6 — Future Research: The KB contains no research roadmap, collaboration details, or technology trajectory documentation. Creating this would require fabrication.
