Robot-WATCHDOG detects manipulation failures by tracking objects, their motion, and pairwise spatial relationships over time. It represents object centroids and the end-effector in a graph, then scores deviations using trajectory projection and correlation or future-state prediction, with thresholds calibrated on nominal episodes. On BotFails, TPC reaches AUPR 0.811 versus 0.442 for AP-RMS, but evaluation excludes deformable and fluid tasks.
