FA-12111 / Robotics frame conventions / Open access
A mounted sensor offset is added in the world frame · case 01
A mounted sensor offset is added in the world frame.
ROOT CAUSE
Child extrinsic translation is added directly to the parent world translation.
THE FAILURE
Child extrinsic translation is added directly to the parent world translation.
Unsuccessful approach: Rotating the offset by its own child heading uses the wrong parent frame.
Case contract
Given parent world translation a and quarter-turn heading qa, and child translation b in parent coordinates with heading qb, return child world translation. qb does not affect its own origin.
Why this case matters
Robot adapters must preserve the declared frame, reference point, and representation conventions across interfaces.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE
The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.
This mechanism has 6 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.
Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.
Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Small exact offline frame model; not a robot middleware implementation or continuous pose estimator. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:38:53.947009+00:00.
