Steer a hospital delivery robot past four hundred people
A hospital delivery robot judged about four times a second: code samples twelve candidate paths and removes predicted collisions, Jev picks one among the survivors, and a deterministic safety brake guarantees no contact - built at the TypeSafe JEVATHON.
01 · Role in the system
What Jev does here
The browser floor holds wards, doors, four hundred moving people and thirty carts or beds, with the robot heading from Pharmacy to ICU bed 4 on a STAT delivery. Code samples twelve candidate three-second paths and discards any predicted to collide; Jev then picks one from the survivors with a probability per option, about four times a second. A deterministic safety brake - code, not a model - guarantees no contact. The author's measured run on seed 42: delivery in 84 seconds against a DeepSeek baseline's 115, with about 126 millisecond p50 decisions at roughly six hundredths of a cent each; with 400 people the LLM was still forty meters short when the recording ended, and the validator rejected its answers that named unoffered paths. A split-screen Brain Race replays both engines on the same floor.
02 · Control boundary
Where Jev sits
Candidate paths enumerated and collision-filtered by code; one choice per tick among survivors; the safety brake and validator stay deterministic regardless of engine.
Code owns the loop, permissions, thresholds, validation, and side effects. Jev owns only the bounded judgments described above.
03 · Known limits
What this evidence does not prove
- A one-day hackathon build in a simulated browser hospital; no real hospital, robot hardware, or deployment is involved.
- Headline numbers are author-measured on one seed against one LLM baseline chosen by the author.
- Extends JevPilot; the decision layer assumes its motion and path-sampling machinery.
