1. A system comprising:
processing circuitry to perform operations including:
applying, substantially simultaneously, sensor data obtained using one or more sensors to at least two program instances of a same instruction set executed using at least two different respective hardware elements associated with a computing device to generate two or more outputs associated with controlling at least one actuator;
determining, using one or more machine learning models (MLMs) and based at least on one or more patterns between the two or more outputs, a result corresponding to hardware fault detection for at least one hardware element of the at least two different respective hardware elements; and
performing one or more operations for the computing device based at least on the determining of the result.
