What is on the bench now. Each project page says what is built, what has been measured and what is still to come.

129BOB in presentation mode: a price chart of the recorded MSFT order book on Nasdaq BX, 30 December 2019, with the approved price band and each paper fill and rejection marked on a timeline.

129BOB

A trading research system that runs at three speeds, from AI research down to an order book in FPGA logic.

AI agents in our research lane, TradingAgents-Jev, study a stock and write reports. 129BOB turns that research into a limited paper mandate that a person has to approve, then replays recorded Nasdaq market data through a C++ engine that checks every order against its risk limits. An FPGA pipeline decodes the same feed and keeps the order book in hardware.

Status
ActivePaper only. No live trading, money or broker connection.
Hardware
First board run on a PYNQ-Z2, 21 October 2026: the FPGA parser and order book reproduced the reference output on the recorded test data.

RoboWars robot

A combat robot we intend to enter in RoboWars, designed and built in the lab.

It brings mechanical design, power electronics, motor control and radio control software together in one machine that has to keep working while it is being hit. We will publish the design, the build and the test results as the work happens.

Status
PlannedDesign starting. No specifications published yet.
Name
To be announced
