Proposal: Kusama for Academic Robotics

5 years ago

Greetings, community!

I would like to present to you my proposal for the ecosystem — Kusama for Academic Robotics. In short, I want to organize a demonstration of Kusama's capabilities for robotics technicians in universities. And for this, I want to create video examples that demonstrate how up to 50 robotic devices of various models work in the Kusama ecosystem using the Robonomics parachain.

Something about me. I am Ivan Berman and currently I am a PhD student at ITMO University (St. Petersburg, Russia). Since 2016, I have collaborated with the Robonomics Network to help them spread distributed ledger technology to academia. Thanks to them, I got acquainted with the Kusama project and now I want to offer my skills to promote the project to universities.

You can find more details about the proposal by following the link on Google Docs.

I will be happy to answer your questions.

UPD 05.10.20: I have updated proposal according to the discussion. The final name of the proposal — "Robots Waiting for Kusama". The link is available here, on Google Docs.

UPD 19.10.20: Added milestones and deliverables. In short: funds will be allocated by milestones according to the number of robots (10 per milestone, 5 milestones in total). Each milestone has tasks for communication with universities and sub-milestones with the launching process / video recording and deliverables. And the last milestone will be final video montage.

Hi Ivan, thank you for the submission!

This is indeed out of my scope of work :) but I have some questions regarding the proposal.

You mentioned you aim to conduct a large-scale demonstration with colleagues from partner universities in which various robots will function, being integrated into the Kusama ecosystem using the Robonomics parachain:

  • could you specify the milestones for the demonstration? whats the demonstration about? which tasks are involved and how will you allocate the funds for the tasks?
  • if you have milestones for the proposal: could you add them to the document and could you also tell us if you plan to request the entire allocation in one submission or by milestones?
  • You mention a rate of 50ksm / 60ksm per robot: how do you calculate this rate?
  • Are there any circumstances in which your project would be limited by changes on Robonomics network?
  • Will you be working alone or with a team?
  • Do you also plan to write and publish on the results of the experiment?

This sounds interesting but I can only echo Raul's desire for more information.
