Adventures in Robotics with Elixir
summary
An autonomous LEGO EV3 robot called Marv runs Elixir on ev3dev booted from a micro SD card and connected over Wi‑Fi; motors and sensors are exposed as filesystem files so code reads/writes simple attributes. The code maps devices to immutable structs, implements a society of agents (detectors, preceptors, motivators, behaviors, actuators, memory, CNS) atop OTP supervisors and gen_server handlers, handles stale percepts as real‑time hazards, and wires a Phoenix + Elm dashboard.
