Autonomous robots powered by deep learning face a fundamental auditability challenge: when incidents occur, investigators cannot reconstruct why the system made specific decisions. This paper presents TRACE (Transparent Reasoning Architecture for Credible Execution), a decision framework that ensures every autonomous action can be traced back to sensor evidence through documented causal chains. The framework organizes decision-making into four auditable layers: Semantic Perception for evidence-grounded entity recognition, Belief Reasoning for probabilistic state estimation with causal graphs, Action Synthesis for constraint-aware planning with counterfactual documentation, and Execution Verification for compliance monitoring. TRACE is model-agnostic yet designed to integrate learning-based perception modules (CNNs, transformers) while preserving decision-level auditability. We evaluate the framework using three objective metrics: Evidence Traceability (sensor-to-decision linkage), Decision Reconstructability (post-hoc analysis capability), and Temporal Continuity (audit trail completeness). Experimental evaluation on warehouse robot navigation demonstrates that TRACE achieves 98.6% evidence traceability, 99.0% temporal continuity, and 98.1% decision reconstructability across 500 simulated decision cycles. Post-hoc methods like LIME provide feature attributions but lack the artifact structure needed for decision-level reconstruction. The framework addresses EU AI Act requirements for high-risk system transparency and contributes to Explainable AI for safety-critical autonomous systems.
