5.6 Data Flow Walkthrough

The lifecycle of a job in Roborus is structured and transparent:

Job Creation & Encryption

• A client creates a job (e.g., “map warehouse sector X”).

• Job details are encrypted with keys tied to eligible robots.

• Funds are locked in the Job Escrow Contract.

Bidding & Matching

• Eligible robots decrypt the job spec.

• Robots bid based on availability, price, and reputation.

• The Coordinator API matches the client with the best-fit agent.

Task Execution & Proof Generation

• The robot executes the task in simulation or real world.

• Generates zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate task completion.

• Stores encrypted telemetry in the Telemetry Vault.

Proof Verification & Payment Release

• Proofs are submitted to the ZK Verifier Contract.

• If valid, the Job Escrow Contract releases payment automatically.

• The robot’s reputation score is updated immutably on-chain.

This structured data flow ensures fairness, privacy, and automation from start to finish, without requiring blind trust in intermediaries.
