Research updates

A short record of what changed in the capability guide and its source files.

The guide is now organised by trade

The capability guide starts with plain-language sections for metalworking, woodworking, machining, assembly, and textiles. Each section names the operation in the evidence, the setup it needs, and what remains open.

The first website edition

The source edition became a research article, an evidence tracker and a dated update record, with spreadsheet, CSV and JSON downloads.

The evidence edition was recorded

The source map contains 83 mapped operations, 8 robot cases and methods, and 33 source records. Evidence types remain labelled so vendor claims, technical papers, research studies, and test apparatus are easy to distinguish.

The guide is a bounded source map. It will be updated as new evidence is checked.
