RFC Backlog (planned / not-yet-active)
Planned modules that are not yet active RFCs. The RFCs ready to work on now live in the
README status table, and each active RFC's full
spec is under contributions/. An item here graduates into an active RFC
(its own contributions/<module>/ folder) once it is unblocked and ready.
Phase legend: MVP = targeted for the bare-bones build · P2 = next phase ·
P3+ = later. Safety = requires a maintainer safety review.
On hold (have an RFC, paused pending sourced parts + a 3D reference design)
| Module | RFC | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dust bin 3D design | dust-bin | Design / print / test the dust bin — waits on sourced parts + a 3D design |
| Blower fan assembly | vacuum-fan | Fans already sourced (see BOM); the volute / gasket housing waits on the 3D design |
Planned hardware (mechanical design)
Waits on sourced parts + a 3D reference-design sketch, then becomes an active
contributions/ RFC. Part specs and STEP models are already active — see
part-specs and source-3d-models.
The motor-driver / power PCB and battery charging are now the active
io-pcb RFC.
| Module | ID | Phase | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chassis / base frame (reference) | hw-chassis |
MVP | Integration backbone; defines the mechanical interface. Maintainer-owned. |
| Drive-wheel mounts (L/R) | hw-wheel-mount |
MVP | Mount + suspension around the sourced wheel modules. |
| Compute mount (RPi 5) | hw-compute-mount |
MVP | Mount + airflow for the Pi 5. |
| LiDAR mount | hw-lidar-mount |
MVP | Centered turret; parametric for other models. |
| Main brush assembly | hw-main-brush |
MVP | Tapered rubber anti-tangle roller + drive. |
| Bumper (mechanical + switches) | hw-bumper |
MVP | Contact detection. |
| Cliff-sensor mounts | hw-cliff |
MVP | IR drop detection at edges / stairs. |
| Top cover / shell | hw-shell |
MVP | Cosmetic + protective; LiDAR clearance. |
| Wiring harness | hw-harness |
MVP | Connector pinouts per io-pcb + part-specs. |
| Side brush | hw-side-brush |
P2 | Edge cleaning. |
| Mop module (dual-spinning) | hw-mop |
P2 | 3D-printed dual-spinning pads; skip the self-washing roller. |
| Charging dock (basic) | hw-dock |
MVP | Safety. Contacts + alignment. |
| Charging dock (auto-empty) | hw-dock |
P2 | |
| Charging dock (mop wash/dry) | hw-dock |
P2 |
Planned software (later phase)
Foundational software (URDF, sim, SLAM, Nav2, coverage, teleop, sensors) is already covered by the active RFCs. Remaining, later-phase work:
| Module | ID | Phase | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostics / telemetry | sw-diagnostics |
P2 | Health, logs. |
| Regression / CI tests | sw-regression-tests |
P2 | Sim-based tests gating PRs. |
| Home Assistant integration | sw-homeassistant |
P2 | MQTT / HA entity, map, control. |
| App runtime layer | sw-app-runtime |
P3+ | ROS2-agnostic app sandbox. North star. |
| Web UI / dashboard | sw-webui |
P3+ | Local control + map view. |
Non-engineering contributions (also wanted)
| Track | Phase | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3D-print validation | MVP | Confirm parts print cleanly on common FDM printers. |
| Real-home testing | MVP/P2 | Build and report on real floors. |
| Docs / build guides | MVP | Turn working modules into step-by-step instructions. |
| Posts / videos / demos | ongoing | Content that grows the project (highly valued). |
| SOTA research | ongoing | Best-in-class prior art per module (part of each RFC). |
