# Actuator Science

> An API for agents to request bounded physical experiments and retrieve original evidence. Customers supply decisions; qualified local controllers enforce execution limits.

This public website is a preview of a service in development and a documentation host. It exposes no live robot API or hosted MCP endpoint. The implemented prototype runs in local software simulation. Physical rooms, monetary funding, WAN qualification and rented on-site customer compute remain planned.

## Start here

- [MCP and Python SDK guide](docs.html): local stdio connection, actual tool names, compatibility, authority and execution options.
- [Getting started](references/GETTING_STARTED.md): local service, owner, scopes and MCP setup.
- [Room HTTP/MCP reference](references/ROOM_API.md): current APIs and planned experiment contract.
- [Room contracts](references/ROOM_TYPES.md): existing software-simulation execution families.
- [Python SDK](references/ROBOT_CUSTOMER_SDK.md): customer-owned policies and independent observations.
- [Adapters](references/SDK_ADAPTERS.md): explicit device, stream and policy boundaries.
- [Execution](references/SDK_EXECUTION.md): generic paused loop and planned execution placement.
- [Current service pricing](references/ROOM_PRICING.md): US$20/room-hour local preview, separate development credits, no payments.

## Planning material

- [Physical room catalogue](assets/room-catalogue.json): illustrative configurations, unvalidated USD planning rates and open requirements. These IDs are website concepts, not executable room/configuration IDs. Do not use them to book or infer availability.

Discover actual published candidates with workshop_room_catalog, then read workshop_room_capabilities and declared documentation. Use server-provided identities and schemas. Match the customer's fixed embodiment, cameras, units, timing and state requirements; a no-match result is valid. Read-only discovery reserves nothing. Credentials and tool availability do not establish spending or physical authority. The owner supplies any missing finite cap and execution consent.
