## What it does GeminiFleet runs a physics-based warehouse simulation where autonomous robots pick up and deliver items. A fleet manager controls robot behavior through natural language — no code, no config files. **Example commands:** - "Make robots more cautious" → speed drops, safety margins increase - "Speed things up, we're behind schedule" → max speed, tighter margins - "Focus on the north side" → robots prioritize north-zone tasks Google Gemini interprets each command with full context (fleet status, delivery counts, collision stats) and generates precise parameter updates that modify robot behavior in real-time. ## How it works **PyBullet Physics Engine** — Real rigid-body simulation with collision detection. Warehouse environment with walls, shelves, pickup/dropoff zones, and 4-6 autonomous robots navigating with priority-based collision avoidance. **Gemini 2.0 Flash Policy Engine** — Translates natural language into 7 tunable parameters: speed, safety margin, congestion response, task selection strategy, cooperation mode, zone preference, and concurrency. Values are clamped to safe ranges. **Live Web Dashboard** — Real-time 2D visualization via WebSocket at 10Hz. Tracks robot positions, planned paths, carrying status, and delivery statistics. Collapsible panels for robot status and active policy display. ## Key Innovation Robot fleet behavior is parameterized into meaningful dimensions that an LLM can reliably map from ambiguous human instructions. Operational expertise — not programming skill — drives fleet optimization. ## Deployment Runs entirely on **Vultr non-GPU VMs** via Docker. PyBullet operates in CPU-only mode. Single `docker compose up` deploys the full simulation + dashboard + Gemini chat. ## Built with - **PyBullet** — Bullet Physics simulation - **Google Gemini 2.0 Flash** — NL→policy translation - **FastAPI + WebSocket** — Real-time state streaming - **Docker** — Vultr deployment

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc and Circle, developers will build the next generation of Agentic economic applications using Circle’s Nanopayments infrastructure with settlement on Arc in USDC. For the first time, high-frequency, usage-based transactions between users, APIs, and AI agents can operate without gas overhead eroding margin. Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable, dollar-denominated USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality — enabling real-time coordination and economically viable per-action pricing at scale. 📅 April 20 – 26, 2026 • Apr 20 – 25 (Online): Submit projects by Apr 25. • Apr 25 (On-site Build – SF, CA): Teams refine projects. • Apr 26 (On-site Demos & Awards – SF, CA): Live pitches & winners announced.
