01 / The robot

Designed to stay close to the work

Vitruvian I is a physical platform for testing the loop between models, tools, and real tasks. Its value is in making that loop visible: what the robot sees, what it is asked to do, and what we learn from each attempt.

02 / In the field

Motion from South Park Commons

We are including the South Park Commons footage here as part of the record: a real prototype moving in a real event setting, alongside the work that turns a robot into a useful system.
