Summary

This PR adds an optional documentation-only module describing the Faraday Safety Governor, a lightweight software layer designed to sit on top of existing Unitree ROS2 stacks.

The goal is to document a possible approach for:

  • runtime motion safety,
  • velocity limiting,
  • and behavior guarding,

without modifying any existing Unitree code or interfaces.

Scope

  • 📄 Documentation only (README)
  • ❌ No changes to existing ROS2 nodes
  • ❌ No impact on current pipelines
  • ❌ No new dependencies

Rationale

Some users and integrators may require an additional software-level safety or motion-governance layer when deploying humanoid robots in real-world or experimental environments.

This document is provided as an optional reference for such use cases, fully decoupled from Unitree’s core stack.

Compatibility

  • ROS2-native
  • Vendor-agnostic by design
  • Optional and non-intrusive

Notes

This PR is intentionally minimal and informational.
Feedback from the Unitree team and the community is very welcome.
