Overview
Structured for a report-first project — the kind that demonstrates research readiness. The natural fill: one narrow question from the humanoid work, studied properly and written up with the discipline of a short paper. Where exactly does the VLN system break down, and why? Which sim behaviors predict real ones? The Moravec's-paradox questions that motivate the research program, made falsifiable.
