The paper introduces TRACE, a Transparent Reasoning Architecture for Credible Execution, which provides an explainable AI-based decision framework for autonomous robots. TRACE structures decision-making into four auditable layers—Semantic Perception, Belief Reasoning, Action Synthesis, and Execution Verification—to ensure every action can be traced back to sensor evidence through documented causal chains. Experimental results on warehouse robot navigation show high evidence traceability (98.6%), temporal continuity (99.0%), and decision reconstructability (98.1%) across 500 simulated decision cycles.
