01 · The problem

Recover the disorder.

Disordered flexible lines enter a controlled recovery chamber instead of an open robot workspace.

02 · Sense

Map the line state.

Vision, depth and physical sensing establish endpoints, crossings, loops and handling state.

03 · Recover

Create slack before separation.

Distributed compliant modules manipulate local sections and transfer the line while keeping the recovery field constrained.

04 · Verify & recover

Detect. Roll back. Try another action.

If the expected geometry or physical response is not verified, the controller returns to the last verified state and selects an alternate manipulation primitive.

05 · Organize

Finish with a controlled output.

Recovered lines move into the straightening and organization path for downstream handling.
