The build ladder
Six research decisions closed on day one. Everything below the fold is a child ticket of map #1; each rung gates the next one.
All tickets, in order
| Ticket | Milestone | Gate to pass | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| #2–#6 | Paper teardown · compute · sim · FC · NN curriculum | Every open question has a cited answer | closed |
| #7 | Repo skeleton & toolchain | Astro builds, dirs + glossary live | closed |
| #21 | Docs site design system & first diagrams | Cloudflare Pages deploy serves the site | closed |
| #8 | BOM & sourcing | All-up weight ≤ 1.0 kg, parts in cart | open |
| #11 | Sim V1 model + hover policy | Isaac-quadcopter spike hover; MJCF shared with MuJoCo | open |
| #9 | Print & assemble V1 hover quad | Frame prints, harness, 0 crashes on bench | planned |
| #10 | Hover bringup | Bench → tethered → free hover, PX4 tuned | planned |
| #12 | RL ramp exercises | PPO holds hover + position in sim (S0–S3) | planned |
| #13 | Passive-leg prototype & drop rig | Survives scripted drop heights on rig | planned |
| #14 | Hop-in-place sim → real | Sim policy transfers, repeatable hops | planned |
| #15 | Big-drop landing & recovery | Props-assisted descent, self-righting | planned |
| #16 | Terrain traversal | Hops/climbs household obstacles | planned |
| #17 | Onboard perception | D435i depth + detection on Orin | planned |
| #18 | Onboard voice | Wake word + commands at rest | planned |
| #19 | Behaviours + hybrid scheduler | come / follow / explore; fly-vs-hop by energy | planned |
| #20 | Full autonomous home integration | Destination: pet lives at home, onboard-only | planned |
