CompletedPHASE 01
Foundation
The project structure, mission, team and system architecture were established.
- Project planning completed.
- Team structure defined.
- Core goals established.
- System architecture developed.
PROGRESS
From platform to swarm.
The development of EMERGENCE progresses from a single robotic architecture toward resilient autonomous lunar construction systems.
02
CurrentPHASE 02
Platform Prototype
The first robotic platforms are now moving from digital design into physical development.
- Robot CAD design completed.
- First AI model developed.
- ROS2 system running in Gazebo.
- First two physical platforms under construction.
03
NextPHASE 03
Fleet Standardisation
The project expands from individual platforms into a coordinated construction fleet.
- Begin multi-agent reinforcement learning.
- Build additional robots.
- Standardise fleet hardware.
- Integrate the compaction mechanism.
04
FuturePHASE 04
Emergent Swarm Behaviour
The fleet will learn to coordinate under increasingly realistic and uncertain conditions.
- PPO multi-agent reinforcement learning.
- Introduce robot failures and changing conditions.
- Test adaptive task allocation.
- Improve emergent swarm behaviour.
05
HorizonPHASE 05
Expanded Lunar Operations
The swarm architecture expands beyond construction into broader autonomous surface operations.
- ISRU site operations.
- Infrastructure maintenance.
- Solar-array assembly.
- Assembly of additional surface structures.
