👋 Body Mimicry

Category: Behavioral Sabotage | Code: MCTRE-03

Body mimicry involves using ambiguous, contradictory or hyper-regular physical gestures to confuse robotic vision and behavior recognition systems. This technique is highly effective against autonomous threat-assessment algorithms and motion prediction modules.

Tactical Actions

• Ambiguous Front Gesture (GAF-01): Raise both hands slowly with open palms, then close into fists and rotate wrists. Causes classification delay.
• Erratic Walking Pattern (AI-04): Alternate between slow and sudden lateral steps. Interferes with motion predictors.
• Contradictory Stable Pose (PSC-02): Sit on the ground with one hand raised in stop gesture and the other pointing forward. Confuses visual command recognition.
• Salute Rotation (SR-07): Military-style salute followed by circular wrist motion. Triggers mixed gesture interpretation.
• Freeze and Collapse (SB-09): Imitate mechanical failure by stiffening and falling to a symmetrical position. Robot may mark the subject as "non-operational."
• Asynchronous Replication (RA-11): Two humans mimic the same gesture with a 1-second delay. Confuses synchronous pattern recognizers.

Field Notes

• Ideal against robots with visual classifiers and movement prediction.
• Use changing patterns every 10–15 seconds to prevent adaptive learning.
• Avoid overtly aggressive gestures that could trigger autonomous defense.
