The AB2BC Grand Scheme

AB2BC ecosystem · the grand scheme

One map. One route engine. Every journey.

A space is scanned once. From that map, one engine plans the route for every journey on the site — a robot cart, a shopper’s phone, a delivery, a leased fleet — and the Red Envelope wallet settles what each journey earns.

Scan once, use everywhereOne walk-through with a phone becomes the map every service shares. The positioning behind it: ab2u.net.
We guide, the robot drivesThe engine sends the route; each robot’s own safety system controls its motion.
No route through the unknownIf no one has seen a spot yet, nothing is routed through it.
Movement and money kept apartPositioning signs the proof of arrival; the wallet signs the payment. Two keys, two stops.

What the site sees comes in on the left, the positioning engine turns it into one signed map and plans over it, and everyone on the right follows the same signed route. Money runs beside movement, not through it: a job is funded first and paid only on verified arrival.

How a journey happens

The same five moves whether it is a robot, a shopper or a scheduled task.

The space is scanned

A phone walk-through, a robot’s own map or the store’s shelf map is lined up with the site’s beacons and becomes one signed map.

Places are connected

Every place, shelf and door becomes a point on the map, joined by the paths between them.

A destination is named

A spot, a place, a product or a category. A whole shopping list becomes a tour in the best order.

The route is followed

A robot follows it with its own safety systems, a shopper sees turn-by-turn on the phone, a dispatcher sends the nearest robot by route.

Arrival is proven, then paid

Arrival is confirmed by position and a second witness. Only then is a delivery closed, a task paid or a reward credited.

Movement and money, kept apart

Positioning and payment are two separate systems on purpose, with their own keys and their own emergency stops.

Positioning · AB2U

Signs where things are, holds no money

  • Keeps the site map and every route it signs.
  • Only registered devices receive routes; anything else is just a reading, never a payment.
  • One switch cancels every open route on the site.
  • A person’s routes are personal data: consent first, kept only as long as needed, deleted on request.
Money · Red Envelope

Signs payments, moves no robots

  • Nothing moves until the job is funded.
  • Payment follows proof of arrival, and nothing else.
  • Spending rules cap what a robot, an assistant or an automatic reorder can commit.
  • Assistants get directions, never keys.
Stop positioning → routes cancelled Stop the wallet → nothing is paid Each stop also halts the other’s effect. Both are rehearsed regularly, in simulation and on the pilot site.

What is built

Built in this order, each piece standing on the one before, and running end to end on a pilot site since September 2026.
