Body-cue recognition can support assistive robots, but benchmark accuracy does not guarantee reliable behavior under a robot-camera viewpoint. We present Nuni, a bedside robot prototype that treats a detected distress cue as a reason to ask rather than a reason to alert. We compare two X3D-UGT RGB appearance classifiers, which reach 97.7% and 94.8% six-way accuracy on NTU RGB+D, with a pose-centric hybrid pipeline on 28 single-actor scripted clips recorded from the robot camera. The hybrid path achieved 0.71 six-way macro recall, versus 0.25 and 0.29 for the fine-tuned and from-scratch RGB variants. More importantly for interaction, it produced a question-triggering distress cue in 12/16 distress clips and would have prompted unnecessarily in 2/8 normal clips; the RGB variants yielded a question-triggering cue in only 2/16 and 3/16 distress clips. We separately tested the question-first controller through event injection. All 13 state-transition trials passed: valid responses caused stand-down, two unanswered prompts produced one alert, and three boundary conditions were handled correctly. These results are a preliminary technical evaluation, not a user study or medical validation, but they show how interaction policy can limit the consequences of uncertain perception.
