Capability in the operation of robot fleets may be assigned to a named operator, a hall label, a planning product, or a general model that drafted a motion. This note applies a descriptive method as a generalization: before any such assignment is treated as a measurement, a line must be drawn around the working unit that actually produced the motion and the contact. The boundary question does not change. The parts list does. This note takes as a working assumption that the unit may be coupled. It may include human judgment, several general models, a lasting run store, software tools, and embodied machines that occupy space. The independent external loop is physical contact. A gripper closes on an object or on air. The unit did not write that event. The method describes working arrangements. It does not evaluate any person. It does not advise on control or systems. The transfer fails if the run store, the embodied machines, or the physical contact can be removed without changing prespecified outcomes, or if a single person or a single model predicts those outcomes as well as the coupled unit.\nDeutsche Fassung enthalten: Die Bediener-Einheit einer Roboter-Flotte — verkörperte Maschinen als feste Teile, physischer Kontakt als unabhängige Antwort\nThis deposit may receive metadata refinements within the metadata refinement window without affecting the deposited files.
