	<h2>Features</h2>		== Vision ==
			Our vision is to '''release LUMINSim on Steam as a commercial-ready, full-featured lunar robotics simulator.'''

			* '''Terrain Streaming System:''' A chunk-style terrain download architecture (glTF/GLB) so clients fetch precomputed lunar terrain from a server (rather than generating them locally).
			* '''In-Sim Challenges:''' Challenge modes like fastest unloading, excavation, or structure assembly; enable players to script robot behaviors via accessible client APIs. Useful for testing [[L.A.M.P: Lunar, Autonomous, Modular Platform\|LAMP]] candidates and getting useful feedback and data.
			* '''Realistic Sensors & Automation API:''' Realistic sensors (LIDAR, depth cams, IMUs, encoders, etc.) and a control API for user-coded autopilots (over local MQTT/websocket?). The ability to send commands over local connections allows users to utilize '''any programming language''' with networking capabilities to talk directly to the simulator.
			* '''Leaderboard & Accounts:''' An account system and integrated leaderboard with reward mechanisms (gift cards, in-game cosmetics/land) for the previously mentioned challenges, as well as regular gameplay (i.e., building up your own moon base on your allocated zone), to support competitive play that boosts our research.
			* '''Protocol Compliance:''' Realistically enforced LunaNet/Artemis Accords-style safety zones (see [[LUMIN]]) in gameplay to simulate real-world compliance. Allow risk-and-reward scenarios where players can challenge others’ zones, with consequences like protocol bans, network restrictions, and in-sim enforcement via [[L.A.M.P: Lunar, Autonomous, Modular Platform\|LAMP]] robots, while also testing my ([[User:Acmattson3\|Andrew Mattson]]'s) thesis work.
			* '''Ownership & Economy:''' Create an in-game currency and a system for earning/purchasing lunar land, managing modular base construction (see [https://github.com/auroraroboticslab/buildot/ Buildot]), and calling down/sending up landers (with semi-realistic, or at least proportional wait times?) to get more equipment or send up materials for in-game money.

			For more in-depth information about the future of LUMINSim, see the [[LUMINSim Documentation#Future Work\|LUMINSim documentation's future work section]].<h2>Features</h2>

	<p>LUMINSim ~~aims to be a detailed simulation environment for~~ lunar ~~mining operations~~. ~~As part of the broader [[LUMIN~~]~~] system, it allows the team to model various robotic designs, navigation algorithms,~~ and ~~task execution methods under realistic~~ lunar ~~conditions~~. ~~The simulator currently features the <strong>~~[[~~LAMP v1~~\|~~Astra~~]]~~</strong> robot, the first prototype designed for lunar construction~~ and ~~mining~~.~~</p>~~		<strong>LUMINSim</strong> (Lunar Mining and Infrastructure Network Simulator) is an [https://github.com/auroraroboticslab/godotrobot/ open source] lunar robotic simulator developed by Aurora Robotics using [https://godotengine.org/ Godot 4.4]. It currently serves as a tool for testing and refining robots and their operations in a simulated lunar environment. We aim to make LUMINSim a commercially available product (see [[LUMINSim#Current Status and Development\|Current Status and Development]]) to assist us in research and testing.

	<p>~~The insights gained from~~ LUMINSim~~'s testing of Astra led~~ to ~~the development of a~~ new, ~~more versatile robot called <strong>~~[[~~LAMP~~]] (Lunar, Autonomous, Modular, Platform~~)</strong>.

	~~<li><strong>Robot Design Testing:</strong> One of LUMINSim's primary purposes is to test and validate new~~ robotic ~~designs. Astra, the current robot in the simulator, serves as a learning~~ tool ~~that guided the development of LAMP by exposing design flaws and providing insight into necessary features for lunar operations.</li>~~
	~~<li><strong>Multi-Platform Support:</strong> Supports multiple platforms,~~ including ~~desktop and Android, providing~~ a ~~versatile simulation environment for different users and use cases.</li>~~
	~~<li><strong>Immersive Astronaut Simulation:</strong> Allows users to control an astronaut avatar within the simulation.</li>~~
	~~<li><strong>Modular Design:</strong> The modular approach supports the addition of new features, robots~~, ~~terrains~~, and ~~missions~~, ~~aligning with LAMP's design philosophy and the adaptive nature of the LUMIN control~~ system~~.</li>~~
	~~<li><strong>Console Commands~~ and ~~UI Controls:</strong> Includes various user commands and UI elements~~, ~~such as speed readouts~~ and ~~simulation rate adjustments to enhance the simulation experience~~.<~~/li~~>

	<h2>~~Current Status~~ and ~~Development~~</h2>		<p>LUMINSim is currently in its alpha stage. Ongoing development is aimed at developing LUMINSim into a commercial product available on Steam and on the web. The current idea is to have players join to develop their own lunar zones and compete in challenges that assist us in our research. LUMINSim will also continue to serve as a testbed for validating new [[L.A.M.P: Lunar, Autonomous, Modular Platform\|LAMP]] candidates and other lunar technologies, especially as users test each candidate's limits.</p>

	<p>~~LUMINSim is currently in its alpha stage, with ongoing development aimed at refining robot behavior, terrain interactions, and autonomous capabilities. The latest updates focus~~ on ~~improving terrain generation, enhancing~~ the ~~control~~ of ~~the Astra robot, and introducing new elements such as mountable lights, speed controls, and navigation systems.</p>~~		<p>For more information on the status of LUMINSim's development, see the [[LUMINSim Documentation\|LUMINSim Documentation page]].</p>
