Daily logs

The workbench record. What we tried, what happened, and what comes next.

Daily logs

Keeping a thought together across pauses

The native listener preserved conversational turns and gained event identities that remained distinct across two process launches.

Daily logs

A spatial observer and the first voice file

Frame-level target selection went live in advisory mode, Piper generated a WAV, and the microphone-array work stopped before flashing.

Daily logs

Perception, state, and behavior started together; a later correction separated recovered state from a new arrival.

Daily logs

Presence, state, and a jersey on a chair

Daily logs

Daily logs

Getting the workbench on camera

Overhead video and recorded audio passed their checks, but the camera boom exposed a mechanical problem.

Daily logs

Building the record before the build

The project book takes shape, with separate records for engineering work and procurement.
