Reference vocabulary12 canonical terms
Words that keep
the field honest.
Project H uses a controlled vocabulary so leagues, events, robots, teams and claims do not collapse into one vague category.
Canonical definitionsEntity model / editorial contract
Every term links back to the product surface where that distinction becomes operational.
Autonomous control
The robot selects competitive actions without a human pilot issuing each movement during the bout.
Autonomous does not mean that training, setup or safety supervision are absent.↗02CLMClaim state
The editorial status attached to one atomic factual assertion: confirmed, contested, unverified, refuted or arbitrated.
A confidence label belongs to the claim, not automatically to the whole entity.↗03CMPCompetition
A repeatable sporting format operated under an identifiable name, ruleset or organiser.
A demonstration, one-off tournament and recurring league remain distinct records.↗04CTLControl mode
The mechanism that determines who or what selects the robot’s competitive actions: autonomy, gamepad, VR, motion capture or mixed control.
Visually similar fights cannot be ranked together before control mode is known.↗05DOCDocumentary media
A sourced image or film attached to the entity, event or organisation it actually documents.
League-level context is labelled when no event-specific footage is available.↗06EVTEvent
One bounded programme with a date or date window, place, organiser relationship and record state.
An announced month is not silently converted into an exact day.↗07HWHardware platform
The underlying robot model or class used by one or more named competition entries.
A platform is not the same entity as a robot, team, pilot or league.↗08RESResult
A published outcome linking an event, participants, winner and resolution method.
Highlight footage alone does not create a scorecard.↗09RBTRobot
One canonical machine identity to which aliases, hardware, team relationships and results can be attached.
Project H keeps the machine separate from its organisation and operator.↗10TEMTeam
A corporate group, university lab or named entry associated with competition participation.
A team file may exist while its roster and machines remain unpublished.↗11TELTeleoperation
A human pilot controls the robot through gamepad, VR, exoskeleton or motion-capture input.
Pilot-led performance and autonomous performance are classified separately.↗12URKURKL
Ultimate Robot Knock-out Legend, EngineAI’s autonomous full-size humanoid combat league project.
The documented gala does not validate every audience, roster or season claim.↗
