When robot arms approach full extension, the inverse kinematics equations become ill-conditioned. The Jacobian matrix loses rank, and traditional numerical methods struggle. Standard approaches like Damped Least Squares introduce tracking errors proportional to the damping factor, while ϵ\epsilon-regularization creates position-dependent bias.

ZeroProofML handles these cases by using Bounded Signed Common Meadows (SCM). Standard neural networks struggle here because their piecewise-linear inductive bias forces them to choose between "freezing" (under-reacting) or "panicking" (outputting dangerous velocity spikes) near the singularity. ZeroProofML is natively rational. It naturally models the bell-shaped damping topology required to navigate the kinematic lock.

By treating the control law as a rational regression problem, ZeroProofML offers three structural guarantees:

  • Structural Safety: The architecture mathematically prevents linear overshoot, ensuring smooth velocity profiles even at the workspace boundary.
  • Dynamic Fidelity: It captures the true peak control authority required to move through singularities, rather than learning to stagnate.
  • Deterministic Consistency: The rational bias constrains the solution space, ensuring the model converges to the same safe control law across training runs.

Potential applications:

  • Inverse kinematics near workspace boundaries
  • Control systems operating near singular configurations
  • Path planning that must traverse near-singular regions
