# Public Research Documentation
> **Current Access Status — Public Research Preview:** This GitBook Site is publicly accessible while its structure, provenance, rights boundaries, and technical content continue to be reviewed and developed. Public access supports inspection and feedback, but it does not make the Site a completed research release, apply an open license, or replace a page-level or artifact-specific rights notice.
This Site is a public research-preview documentation gateway for ongoing research on embodied AI platforms, evidence-centered development methods, reproducible technical workflows, and their educational deployment. Its purpose is to make evolving research systems inspectable, usable, and testable by researchers, educators, students, and developers while preserving the applicable rights, attribution, evidence, and safety boundaries.
The documentation connects three forms of work:
1. **Research platforms** provide reusable physical, computational, sensing, actuation, logging, simulation, and deployment infrastructure.
2. **Research-preview methods and tools** organize how embodied AI systems are designed, evaluated, and advanced through evidence.
3. **Educational deployments** place those platforms and methods into structured learning pathways that can generate feedback, reproducibility evidence, and new research questions.
> **Research Status:** The systems and methods documented here are evolving research outputs. Unless a page expressly states otherwise, they are not standards, certifications, finished commercial products, or authorization for unsupervised hardware operation. See [Open Research Scope and Licensing](/open-research-scope-and-licensing.md).
## Platform Provenance
The **asMagicBrain Platform** integrates and further documents two pre-existing components developed and released by **AncoraSpring Robotics**: the **asBrain Box** and the **asMagic App**. The current research program extends their adoption through more detailed integration, configuration, experimentation, and educational-deployment documentation. Background documentation is available from [AncoraSpring Robotics](https://doc.ancoraspring.com/), including the [asMagic App documentation](https://doc.ancoraspring.com/asmagic).
This integration statement is a provenance record, not a blanket relicensing statement. For the asMagic App, follow the [original asMagic documentation](https://doc.ancoraspring.com/asmagic) and the source or release terms identified there. For the asBrain Box, follow the original source and license identified through the [AncoraSpring Robotics documentation](https://doc.ancoraspring.com/); no license should be inferred where an exact source notice has not yet been linked. The present Site documents integration and adoption, while the asBrain Box, asMagic App, connected robot hardware, software, data, models, and educational materials remain governed by their own item-specific notices.
## Documentation Map
| Area | Purpose | Current Navigation |
| ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **asMagicBrain Platform** | Research infrastructure and technical documentation for developing, integrating, and evaluating embodied AI systems | Use the **asMagicBrain Platform** tab in the GitBook Site |
| **Research Preview of Embodied AI Toolkit** | Research-preview methods for evidence screening, development guidance, readiness assessment, and reflective project decisions | Use the **Research Preview of Embodied AI Toolkit** tab in the GitBook Site |
| **Humanoid Robotics** | An educational deployment organized around humanoid robotics | Use **Educational Deployment → Humanoid Robotics** in the shared Site navigation |
| **Embodied AI Systems** | An educational deployment organized around prototyping and evaluating embodied AI systems | Use **Educational Deployment → Embodied AI Systems** in the shared Site navigation |
The public Site navigation is the viewer-facing route. Internal `app.gitbook.com` editor URLs and private GitHub repository URLs are not public documentation links.
## Access and Source Repositories
During the public research-preview period, the GitBook Site and its spaces are publicly accessible. The synchronized GitHub repositories remain private source repositories for maintainers and authorized collaborators:
| Documentation Area | GitHub Source | Role During Public Research Preview |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Public Research Documentation | [`asMagicBrain/doc`](https://github.com/asMagicBrain/doc) | Site gateway, ecosystem scope, provenance, and parent rights notice |
| Research Preview of Embodied AI Toolkit | [`asMagicBrain/Toolkit`](https://github.com/asMagicBrain/Toolkit) | Research-preview framework, instruments, templates, and worked examples |
| Embodied AI Systems | [`asMagicBrain/Embodied`](https://github.com/asMagicBrain/Embodied) | Autumn 2026 educational deployment and learning resources |
| Humanoid Robotics | [`asMagicBrain/Humanoid`](https://github.com/asMagicBrain/Humanoid) | Spring 2026 educational deployment |
Public GitBook viewing access and GitHub repository access are independent. Public access to the rendered Site does not grant access to a private source repository, and GitHub collaboration access does not determine the copyright, license, release status, or safety status of the rendered documentation.
## How to Use This Site
Begin with the documentation area that matches your purpose. Treat version identifiers, supported configurations, evidence boundaries, safety notices, third-party licenses, and known limitations as part of the technical content. Cite the research outputs that you use, report modifications, and distinguish reproduced results from new evidence.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://x.ancorasir.com/readme.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
