R2I Protocol · Robot-to-Infrastructure
The one who asks. An accredited person with their credential in the app; a vehicle, robot or drone with the issuer SDK integrated into its onboard system; an onboard unit when the asset cannot integrate software. It presents verifiable identity, who operates it, what capabilities it declares and what action it requests.
The one who decides. The door, the barrier, the dock, the crane, the lift, the charging point. It runs the five checks locally, it is the final authority, it works without a network and it cannot be overridden from outside. It is software: it runs on the equipment if the equipment can be updated, or on a gateway beside it if the equipment is analogue.
What remains. Every authenticated interaction produces a signed record — identity, node, action, context, timestamp — verifiable at source and non-repudiable. Aggregated, it composes the signed state of the facility: who is where, what was authorized, what was delivered.
URBANODE coexists with existing systems through adapters — towards access control, fleet management, terminal systems, accreditation platforms. It never replaces them; it gives them a common language.
URBANODE holds patent applications filed with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM), currently pending, and contemplates international extension via the PCT route within the priority calendar.
Filing an application implies neither grant, nor a published favourable examination, nor freedom to operate (FTO).
