What it does

A 28-week Physical AI creation and engineering project focused on building a physical, language-conditioned autonomous delivery platform.

The system is being designed as one cumulative robotics platform combining ROS 2 hardware integration, grounded perception, manipulation, autonomous navigation, robot learning, semantic scene understanding, safety, recovery and reproducible system validation.

Current phase

System architecture, requirements, execution planning and hardware selection are complete. Physical implementation is the next stage.
