# How It Works

The RoboX system operates through a sequence of steps that ensure accurate, private, and verifiable data flow.

***

#### 1. Join a Mission

Users select active missions within their region. Each mission defines:

* Data type requested (e.g., motion, light, or positional data).
* Reward rate (per kilometer, minute, or verified scan).
* Time frame and regional availability.

***

#### 2. Collect and Pre-Process Data

Once active, the app collects sensor data through standard phone capabilities:

* Accelerometer and gyroscope readings
* GPS coordinates (region-clustered, not raw)
* Magnetometer and ambient light input
* Device motion and orientation

Before transmission:

* Raw readings are **filtered and compressed**.
* Identifiers are **removed or obfuscated**.
* Data is **normalized into mission-defined formats**.

It protects user privacy and guarantees data integrity before everything is merged into the shared pool.

***

#### 3. Data Validation

Every uploaded dataset passes through validation stages to ensure integrity and usability.

**Validation process includes:**

1. **Quality Filtering:** Checks for incomplete, noisy, or duplicate readings.
2. **Cross Verification:** Confirms spatial and temporal consistency between multiple contributors.
3. **Anonymization Review:** Confirms all identifying metadata has been stripped before aggregation.

Only validated data contributes to mission outcomes and rewards.

***

#### 4. Reward Allocation

* Each mission has a predefined reward pool in RoboX Points.
* Points are distributed based on verified data quantity and quality.
* Conversion rates between points and tokens are transparent and visible inside the app.
* Users can stake or redeem their tokens once the live token system is deployed.

Reward summaries include total points earned, conversion potential, and contribution ranking.

***

#### 5. Aggregation and Access

Validated data is compiled into mission-specific datasets and stored within the RoboX network.\
Authorized partners, developers, and research groups can request aggregated outputs through the RoboX Developer Portal (launch phase planned post-token rollout).

**Data Access Tiers:**

* **Public Datasets** – anonymized, open-source missions.
* **Partner Missions** – organization-funded projects with restricted data access.
* **Research Archives** – academic use with transparent publishing conditions.

***

#### Key Technical Features

* **Low Power Consumption** – edge collection algorithms minimize energy impact.
* **Offline Mode** – data is cached locally when no connection is available and synced later.
* **Secure Transmission** – all uploads use encrypted channels with regional routing.
* **User Control** – scanning can be paused, adjusted, or terminated at any time.

#### Example Scenario

**Mission:** Lane Boundary Mapping\
**Region:** Paris\
**Goal:** Improve visual navigation for autonomous delivery robots.

A user commutes for 40 minutes.\
During the trip, the RoboX app logs orientation, motion, and GPS vectors.\
After validation, their contribution yields 480 RoboX Points.\
The dataset becomes part of a continually refreshed 3D map accessible to robotics partners.
