In the documentation, there is a task board BOM advertised as coming soon.
# AIC Task Board Description
The **AI for Industry Challenge (AIC)** task board is a modular, reconfigurable platform designed to emulate real-world cable management challenges found in high-mix electronics manufacturing, specifically within server and data center infrastructure. This environment replicates the complex task of routing high-density fiber optics and seating transceivers into dense networking hardware.
This task board will serve here as the primary environment for evaluating dexterous manipulation, perception, and motion planning throughout the challenge phases.
## 1. Board Overview
The task board provides a standardized physical interface for the manipulation of **[SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)modules, LC (Lucent Connector) fiber optic and SC (Subscriber Connector) fiber optic](https://www.versitron.com/pages/sfp-sc-and-lc-connectors-transceivers-defined-and-analyzed-in-detail)** connectors. It is divided into four distinct zones to separate the assembly targets from the initial component pick locations.
## 2. Zone Descriptions
The AIC task board is organized into four functional zones that simulate a complete electronics assembly workflow. Zones 1 and 2 serve as the assembly targets:
* [Zone 1](#zone-1-network-interface-cards-nic) houses the Network Interface Cards (NIC) with SFP ports, representing the server compute tray,
* [Zone 2](#zone-2-sc-optical-ports) mimics an optical patch panel with SC ports.
* [Zones 3](#zone-3--4-pick-locations) and 4 act as the Pick Locations, providing a high-mix supply area where SFP modules and fiber optic plugs are staged on adjustable mounts.
