Target Protocol
Draft- Navigate a furnished home route with flooring changes and thresholds.
- Traverse a standard staircase or submit a credible stair-capable subsystem.
- Pick, carry, or hand off objects from 0.5 kg to 2.0 kg.
- Publish telemetry, benchmark video, build files, and known failure cases.
- Document which parts are commodity, custom fabricated, or hard to source.
Community Layer
Ask the Nexus AI
A catalog-aware assistant should help researchers find projects, compare lanes, and feed back what they are building so the hub becomes smarter through the community.
Community Memory Loop
Prototype- Visitors ask about open projects, lanes, buildability, and missing benchmarks.
- The assistant answers from catalog context and asks what the visitor has seen or built.
- Shared notes become candidate evidence for human review.
- Reviewed evidence improves project pages, lane maps, and scheduled discovery prompts.
