IIP-046: Protocol-compatible embodied runtime

IIP-046 Roadmap Record

IIP-046: Protocol-compatible embodied runtime is an IOI roadmap implementation record for the Embodied Runtime surface. It is marked Research in Q4 2026 and belongs to the Robotics track. The canonical scope is: Protocol-compatible runtime for physical-world systems..

Surface Context

This IIP should be read as part of the Embodied Runtime roadmap, not as a replacement for source papers or product pages. The parent surface gives the broader context for why this milestone exists, what it depends on, and which IOI surfaces it supports. IIP-046 depends on the hypervisor, protocol surfaces before it can fully mature. It does not currently unblock another surface directly, but it still contributes to the cumulative roadmap record.

• Embodied Runtime

Evidence And Verification

The record is designed to make roadmap evidence crawlable and separable from research claims. No item-level dependencies are listed for this record. Evidence links below point to the paper, release, repository, developer documentation, or product page that supports this milestone.

• Roadmap reference

Canonical Relationship

This page is the canonical implementation record for IIP-046, while the parent roadmap surface and linked research pages remain the canonical sources for broader product and protocol context. Internal links point here when the milestone status, phase, dependencies, or evidence trail for Protocol-compatible embodied runtime matters.

Roadmap Role

IIP-046 exists to clarify roadmap status, implementation scope, and evidence relationships. Technical concepts flow through this page to canonical research pages, while product or runtime context flows to the relevant surface page. This preserves a complete implementation trail without making roadmap records compete with deeper IOI papers.
