NovaPlan MVP
Overview: a minimal, privacy-preserving, offline-first multi-agent mission planner for deep-space robotic constellations.
Note: This repository documents a small, well-scoped MVP that demonstrates core NovaPlan ideas and provides a foundation for future expansion (CatOpt bridge, adapters, ledger, etc.).
New scaffold: CatOpt Bridge (scaffold)
- A lightweight scaffold to map NovaPlan primitives to a CatOpt-like representation.
- Provides small building blocks: Object (local problem), Morphism (shared signals), and Functor (adapter interfaces).
- The bridge is intentionally minimal to enable quick experimentation and cross-domain interoperability in MVP milestones.
- Practical notes: the bridge includes helpers to convert a LocalProblem into a canonical Object and to package a delta into a Morphism, enabling plug-and-play adapters across rover/habitat/satellite domains. It also exposes a small bridge_example utility to bootstrap experiments and verify interop in CI.
A minimal, open-source MVP for decentralized, privacy-preserving multi-agent mission planning in deep-space robotic constellations.
- Offline-first, privacy-aware coordination across heterogeneous fleets (rovers, drones, habitat bots).
- Local problem solving with a tiny ADMM-like core and federation of agents.
- A lightweight mission ledger that can anchor decisions when ground links are available.
- Lightweight adapters for common hardware and simulation-ready interfaces.
- A clear test and packaging path to verify end-to-end viability.
This repository focuses on a small, well-scoped subset of the NovaPlan ecosystem to demonstrate core ideas and enable further expansion.
How to run tests
- Run:
./test.sh - This will execute unit tests and verify packaging with
python -m build.
MVP extensions (planned, small scope)
- Add a minimal DSL (nova_plan.dsl) and a delta-synchronization helper (delta_sync) to scaffold federated optimization flows.
- Introduce a lightweight ContractRegistry to enable versioning and interoperability of data contracts.
- Provide a tiny DSL-to-LocalProblem translator to bootstrap CatOpt-style integration with adapters.
- Expand ledger anchoring with a deterministic reconciliation log for outages.
