🔐 Multisensory Disturbance

Category: Sensory Overload | Code: DPMS-08

This technique overwhelms robotic sensory systems using asynchronous input across light, sound, and motion. It causes misalignment in perception and confusion in tracking and target acquisition.

Methods

• Asynchronous Flashing Lights: Use independent flickering LEDs to confuse visual synchronizers.
• Contradictory Sound Patterns: Emit sinusoidal tones (e.g. 200Hz & 201Hz) to produce confusion through beating.
• Erratic Human Movement: Walk unpredictably to disrupt motion prediction modules.
• Distorted Vocal Sounds: Combine drawn-out vowels with commands to degrade NLP parsing.
• Reflective Shielding: Use mirrors or foil to reflect sensors back at the robot.
• Looped Passive Commands: Play non-intrusive voice loops like “awaiting input” to stall voice priority systems.

Field Notes

• Use multiple channels (visual + audio) simultaneously for greater impact.
• Effective indoors or in echo-prone environments.
• Vary stimuli every few seconds to avoid AI adaptation.
