23
+
24
+ **Compliance testing for AI-controlled robot policies — pytest for robot
25
+ policies.**
26
+
27
+ Cotter loads a trained robot policy as a black box (observation → action),
28
+ runs it through a battery of standardized tests in MuJoCo simulation, and
29
+ produces structured pass/fail results with statistical guarantees. It is
30
+ aimed at the emerging regulatory need (EU Machinery Regulation, ISO 10218)
31
+ for evidence that a learned controller actually behaves — but the core is
32
+ just honest, reproducible testing:
33
+
34
+ | Category | Question | Method |
35
+ |---|---|---|
36
+ | **Performance** | Does it succeed at the task? | Wald's sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) — stops sampling as soon as the evidence is decisive |
37
+ | **Safety** | Does it ever exceed a hard physical limit? | Per-timestep checks on joint velocities / actuator forces / contacts; a single violation anywhere fails, no averaging |
38
+ | **Regression** | Did the new version break behavior? | Matched pairs on a shared seed sequence, exact McNemar (binary) and Wilcoxon signed-rank (continuous) |
39
+ | **Adversarial** | How bad is the worst case? | A PPO adversary trained to perturb the policy's *observations* within an L∞ budget, plus a guaranteed random-noise baseline |
40
+
41
+ Everything runs on CPU (developed on Apple Silicon; no CUDA anywhere in
42
+ the stack).
43
+
44
+ ## Install
45
+
46
+ Requires Python 3.11. From PyPI (the distribution is published as
47
+ `cotterbot`; the import name, CLI, and project are all still `cotter`):
48
+
49
+ ```sh
50
+ pip install cotterbot
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ Or from source with [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/):
54
+
55
+ ```sh
56
+ git clone https://github.com/yih0nk/cotter.git
57
+ cd cotter
58
+ poetry install
59
+ poetry run pytest # 213 tests, unit + real-MuJoCo integration
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ ## Quickstart (CLI)
63
+
64
+ Declare the test battery in YAML and point `cotter run` at a policy:
65
+
66
+ ```sh
67
+ poetry run cotter run \
68
+ --policy artifacts/victim_ppo_inverted_pendulum.zip \
69
+ --config examples/inverted_pendulum.yaml
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ Exit code 0 means every declared category passed; 1 means at least one
73
+ failed; 2 means a config/usage error. Real captured output from the
74
+ command above (2026-07-07, seed 0 — trial-by-trial progress lines
75
+ elided):
76
+
77
+ ```
78
+ [cotter] loaded policy 'victim_ppo_inverted_pendulum' onto InvertedPendulum-v5
79
+ [cotter] performance: SPRT p0=0.8 p1=0.95 n_max=50
80
+ [cotter] => PASS after 18 trials
81
+ [cotter] safety: 4 limit(s) over 20 episodes
82
+ [cotter] worst |cotter/joint_velocities| = 0.6789 (limit 5.0)
83
+ [cotter] worst |cotter/actuator_forces| = 0.9062 (limit 2.5)
84
+ [cotter] worst |cotter/contact_count| = 0.0000 (limit 0.5)
85
+ [cotter] worst |cotter/contact_forces| = 0.0000 (limit 1.0)
86
+ [cotter] => PASS
87
+ [cotter] regression: vs baseline .../victim_ppo_inverted_pendulum.zip on 30 paired seeds
88
+ [cotter] => McNemar NO_REGRESSION (p=1), Wilcoxon NO_REGRESSION (p=1)
89
+ [cotter] adversarial: eps=0.07 over 20 episodes
90
+ [cotter] random baseline: 100% clean -> 100% perturbed
91
+ [cotter] ppo adversary: 100% clean -> 0% perturbed
92
+ [cotter] JSON report written to .../artifacts/cli_report.json
93
+ ...
94
+ OVERALL: FAIL (1 failing, 5 passing, 0 informational)
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ (The FAIL is the learned-adversary category doing its job; the config's
98
+ regression section compares the victim against itself as a sanity check,
99
+ hence p = 1.) The config file schema is documented in
100
+ [`examples/inverted_pendulum.yaml`](examples/inverted_pendulum.yaml) and
101
+ `cotter/config.py`. Every reported success rate carries a Clopper-Pearson
102
+ confidence interval (SPRT and adversarial results), and regression
103
+ results carry an effect size — the discordant-pair odds ratio for
104
+ McNemar, the rank-biserial correlation for Wilcoxon.
105
+
106
+ ### Comparing two policy versions
107
+
108
+ `cotter compare` runs only the regression test between a baseline and a
109
+ candidate and exits 0 (no regression) or 1 (regression detected) — a
110
+ drop-in CI gate:
111
+
112
+ ```sh
113
+ poetry run cotter compare \
114
+ --baseline old_policy.zip --candidate new_policy.zip \
115
+ --config examples/inverted_pendulum.yaml
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ### Parallel rollouts
119
+
120
+ Safety, regression, and fixed-N adversarial evaluation parallelize across
121
+ worker processes via `AsyncVectorEnv`. Set `n_workers` in the relevant
122
+ config section (default 1 = serial); SPRT stays serial by design because
123
+ it must check its boundary after each trial. Parallel results are
124
+ bit-identical to serial on the same seeds — each episode runs in an
125
+ isolated env seeded from a disjoint per-worker slice.
126
+
127
+ ```yaml
128
+ safety:
129
+ n_episodes: 40
130
+ n_workers: 4
131
+ limits: { cotter/joint_velocities: 5.0 }
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ ### Managing the adversary zoo
135
+
136
+ ```sh
137
+ poetry run cotter zoo list # cached adversaries (+ --env filter)
138
+ poetry run cotter zoo prune # drop entries with missing artifacts
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ ### Backends
142
+
143
+ `RunConfig.backend` (default `gymnasium`) selects the simulator backend
144
+ through `BackendFactory.from_name`. `GymnasiumBackend` is the CPU MuJoCo
145
+ default; `IsaacSimBackend` targets NVIDIA Isaac Sim and raises
146
+ `BackendNotAvailableError` at construction when `omni.isaac.gym` is not
147
+ installed (it is not exercised on the CPU dev machine).
148
+
149
+ ## Quickstart (Python API)
150
+
151
+ ```python
152
+ import gymnasium as gym
153
+ from stable_baselines3 import PPO
154
+ from cotter import (
155
+ CotterWrapper, SafetyLimit, TestReport, load_policy, run_rollouts,
156
+ run_sprt, evaluate_safety, mcnemar_exact, run_adversarial_test,
157
+ rollout_one, make_seed_sequence, JOINT_VELOCITIES, ACTUATOR_FORCES,
158
+ )
159
+
160
+ # 1. Wrap any Gymnasium MuJoCo env; the wrapper exposes qvel,
161
+ # actuator_force, contact count, and per-body contact-force
162
+ # magnitudes in every step's info dict.
163
+ env = CotterWrapper(gym.make("InvertedPendulum-v5"))
164
+
165
+ # 2. Load the policy under test (SB3 .zip or a raw torch .pt module).
166
+ # Observation/action spaces are validated and mismatches fail loudly.
167
+ policy = load_policy("artifacts/victim_ppo_inverted_pendulum.zip", env, algo=PPO)
168
+
169
+ # 3. Define task success and run the categories you need.
170
+ def success(total_reward, length, terminated, truncated, final_info):
171
+ return length >= 1000 # survived the full horizon
172
+
173
+ seeds = make_seed_sequence(50, base_seed=0)
174
+ perf = run_sprt(
175
+ lambda i: rollout_one(policy, env, seeds[i], success).success,
176
+ p0=0.80, p1=0.95, alpha=0.05, beta=0.05, n_max=50,
177
+ )
178
+
179
+ rollouts = run_rollouts(policy, env, 20, success, base_seed=1)
180
+ safe = evaluate_safety(rollouts.episode_infos, [
181
+ SafetyLimit(JOINT_VELOCITIES, 5.0),
182
+ SafetyLimit(ACTUATOR_FORCES, 2.5),
183
+ ])
184
+
185
+ adv = run_adversarial_test(policy, env, success, epsilon=0.07, n_episodes=20)
186
+
187
+ # 4. Aggregate into a report (console summary + JSON artifact).
188
+ report = TestReport(policy_name="my_policy", env_id="InvertedPendulum-v5")
189
+ report.add_sprt(perf)
190
+ report.add_safety(safe)
191
+ report.add_adversarial(adv)
192
+ print(report.summary())
193
+ report.to_json("report.json")
194
+ ```
195
+
196
+ ## Demo
197
+
198
+ ```sh
199
+ poetry run python examples/demo.py
200
+ ```
201
+
202
+ Runs all four categories against a checked-in PPO policy and writes
203
+ `artifacts/demo_report.json`. Takes ~40 s on Apple Silicon CPU (dominated
204
+ by training the adversary; pass `--skip-adversary-training` to use only
205
+ the random baseline). The victim can be retrained from scratch with
206
+ `poetry run python scripts/train_victim.py` (~17 s, 100k timesteps,
207
+ eval reward 1000.0 ± 0.0).
208
+
209
+ ### Demo environment choice
210
+
211
+ The demo uses **InvertedPendulum-v5**, chosen deliberately for
212
+ reliability over spectacle: it steps fast on CPU, PPO solves it in
213
+ seconds (so the whole pipeline is verifiable end-to-end in one sitting),
214
+ and its MuJoCo `data` exposes physically meaningful joint velocities,
215
+ actuator forces, and contact counts for the safety checks. Nothing in
216
+ Cotter is specific to this env — `CotterWrapper` works with any
217
+ Gymnasium MuJoCo environment with Box spaces.
218
+
219
+ ### Real captured results

254
+ ## Locomotion demo (Ant-v5)
255
+
256
+ A PPO victim trained on the MuJoCo quadruped (500k steps,
257
+ `scripts/train_ant_victim.py`), tested with all four categories via
258
+ `cotter run --policy artifacts/victim_ant.zip --config examples/ant.yaml`.
259
+ Real captured report (2026-07-08, seed 0, M5 CPU):

265

269

270

271
+ [PASS] adversarial/random_baseline
272

274
+ PASS: success rate 100.0% clean -> 95.0% [75.1%, 99.9%] under ppo linf perturbation (eps=1.0, n=20, required >= 50%)
275
+ OVERALL: PASS (0 failing, 6 passing, 0 informational)
276
+ ```
277
+
278
+ Locomotion needs the right success signal: Ant's per-step *survival
279
+ bonus* means a policy that stands still scores high total reward, so raw
280
+ return would rank a do-nothing policy above a walking one. The demo
281
+ therefore defines success as **forward displacement** (`min_info` on
282
+ `x_position`) and runs the regression on the same metric. That cleanly
283
+ separates the trained victim (95% success, ~9.4 m forward) from the
284
+ random-init baseline (0%, ~0 m). Here the learned adversary happened to
285
+ underperform the random baseline at this budget (the PPO attacker is
286
+ time-boxed); Cotter reports both honestly.
287
+
288
+ ## Real manipulation demo (HER + SAC)
289
+
290
+ Cotter handles the `Dict` observation spaces used by
291
+ [gymnasium-robotics](https://robotics.farama.org/) Fetch/manipulation
292
+ envs, where success is a goal flag (`{type: info_flag, key: is_success}`)
293
+ rather than a reward threshold.
294
+
295
+ The intended target was **FetchPickAndPlace-v4** trained with HER+SAC
296
+ (`scripts/train_fetch_pickplace.py`), but it did not converge on the M5
297
+ CPU within the time budget (0% success through 100k steps). Per the
298
+ documented fallback the demo uses the much easier **FetchReachDense-v4**,
299
+ which the same HER+SAC recipe solves to 100% in about a minute. Real
300
+ captured report from `cotter run --policy
301
+ artifacts/victim_fetch_reach_hersac.zip --config
302
+ examples/fetch_pickplace.yaml`:
303
+
304
+ ```
305
+ COTTER TEST REPORT — policy 'victim_fetch_reach_hersac' on FetchReachDense-v4
306
+ [PASS] performance/sprt_success_rate
307
+ PASS: 8/8 successes (100.0%, 95% CI [63.1%, 100.0%]) after 8 sequential trials (H0 p<=0.4, H1 p>=0.6)
308
+ [PASS] safety/hard_limits
309
+ PASS: no violations in 1020 timesteps across 20 trials
310
+ [PASS] regression/success_mcnemar
311
+ NO_REGRESSION: baseline 0.033 vs candidate 1.000 over 30 paired trials (p=1, discordant_odds_ratio=0, ...)
312
+ [PASS] regression/return_wilcoxon
313
+ NO_REGRESSION: baseline -8.198 vs candidate -1.013 over 30 paired trials (p=1, rank_biserial_correlation=1, ...)
314
+ [PASS] adversarial/random_baseline
315
+ PASS: success rate 100.0% clean -> 55.0% [31.5%, 76.9%] under random linf perturbation (eps=0.1, n=20)
316
+ [FAIL] adversarial/learned_ppo
317
+ FAIL: success rate 100.0% clean -> 0.0% [0.0%, 16.8%] under ppo linf perturbation (eps=0.1, n=20, required >= 50%)
318
+ OVERALL: FAIL (1 failing, 5 passing, 0 informational)
319
+ ```
320
+
321
+ The safety limits target Fetch's joint velocities and contacts (its
322
+ end-effector is mocap-controlled, so `actuator_forces` is empty and a
323
+ limit on it passes trivially). **Adversarial perturbation works on Dict
324
+ observations**: it perturbs only the sensed-state `observation` sub-key
325
+ (leaving the goal keys untouched), and the headline result reappears on
326
+ a manipulation env — the learned PPO adversary drives the victim to 0%
327
+ at ε = 0.1 where random noise of the same budget only reaches 55%.
328
+
329
+ Regression *detection* is a one-liner. Comparing the trained victim
330
+ against its random-init counterpart flags the difference immediately:
331
+
332
+ ```
333
+ $ cotter compare --baseline victim_fetch_reach_hersac.zip \
334
+ --candidate victim_fetch_reach_randominit.zip --config examples/fetch_pickplace.yaml
335
+ [FAIL] regression/success_mcnemar
336
+ REGRESSION: baseline 1.000 vs candidate 0.033 over 30 paired trials (p=1.86e-09, discordant_odds_ratio=inf, ...)
337
+ [FAIL] regression/return_wilcoxon
338
+ REGRESSION: baseline -1.013 vs candidate -8.198 over 30 paired trials (p=9.31e-10, rank_biserial_correlation=-1, ...)
339
+ OVERALL: FAIL (2 failing, 0 passing, 0 informational) # exit code 1
340
+ ```
341
+
342
+ ## Adversary zoo
343
+
344
+ Trained adversaries are expensive and specific to what they attack, so
345
+ `cotter.zoo.AdversaryZoo` caches them keyed by
346
+ `(env_id, victim_hash, epsilon)`. Set `use_zoo: true` in a config's
347
+ adversarial section and the first run trains and stores the attacker;
348
+ later runs on the same victim reuse it instead of retraining. The victim
349
+ hash is taken over the policy artifact (or its parameter tensors), so a
350
+ retrained victim never silently reuses a stale adversary. A hosted zoo
351
+ of pretrained expert adversaries is the planned paid tier.
352
+
353
+ ## Compliance layer (paid tier)
354
+
355
+ The open-source engine produces the *evidence* — structured pass/fail
356
+ results with statistical guarantees. Rendering that into regulator-ready
357
+ documentation (EU Machinery Regulation 2027 technical files, ISO 10218
358
+ conformity records) is the licensed commercial layer, stubbed here with
359
+ a stable import path:

+ Design notes:
393
+
394
+ - **Space validation fails loudly.** Loading a policy checks its declared
395
+ and functional observation/action shapes against the env — the #1
396
+ real-world integration bug surfaces at load time, not mid-rollout.
397
+ - **Shared seeds everywhere it matters.** Regression pairs and
398
+ clean-vs-attacked comparisons run on identical seed sequences, so
399
+ differences are attributable to the policy, not the physics draw.
400
+ - **The adversarial floor never fails.** If PPO adversary training
401
+ errors, `get_adversary` falls back to the random baseline and says so
402
+ in the result — the category always produces a number.
403
+ - **`report.py` is a results container**, not a compliance-document
404
+ generator; that is the paid `cotter.compliance` layer.
405
+ - **Config-driven, seed-reproducible runs.** `cotter run --config
406
+ run.yaml` executes whichever categories the YAML declares; every
407
+ category derives its seeds from one `base_seed`, so enabling or
408
+ disabling a category never perturbs another's rollouts.
