Hand design constraint:
The robot uses a rigid two-finger clamp gripper, exactly like the reference image.
The gripper has two solid metal fingers with a simple hinge mechanism.
No human-like fingers.
No soft gloves.
No multi-finger hands.
No change in hand shape, size, or structure.
The gripper remains mechanically attached to the arm at all times.
Cat consistency constraint:
The cat is the same brown tabby domestic cat throughout the entire story.
Short-haired, warm brown and gray stripes, medium size. Scene:
Evening light.
The cat sleeps beside HomeBot on the floor.
Robot’s soft hand rests near the cat — not moving.
