Is this the telemetry to check the status ?

Is this group still active? Is there any document that talks about how one can become a collator/validator for the network?

Hello! What you need to do:

1. Create user for robonomics service:
   useradd -s /bin/bash -m robonomics

2. Install actual version of robonomics:
   curl -sSf https://get.robonomics.network/install | sh

3. Create robonomics service file:
   nano /etc/systemd/system/robonomics.service

4. Place this lines in the service file:

[Unit]
Description=robonomics
After=network.target

[Service]
User=robonomics
Group=robonomics
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/robonomics --name %NAME% --validator --lighthouse-account %POLKADOT_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS% --parachain-id 2077 --execution Wasm -- --execution Wasm

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

where
%NAME% is the node name, and
%POLKADOT_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS% is the account address in the Polkadot ecosystem in SS58 format. The reward will be sent to this address.
Example of account address: 4Ch19e5HAF4PzudmLMVLD2xEyuxYXY4j47CLdsG74ht933Vz

1. Enable the Robonomics service:
   systemctl enable robonomics

2. Start the Robonomics service:
   systemctl start robonomics

After that, need to wait for node sync.

The log of the running node can be viewed using journalctl:
journalctl -u robonomics.service -f

Presumably at the moment robonomics is running it's own relay chain with it's own validators - and this is the setup above? Regarding staking via the dapp, I understand that isn't NPoS staking - but who is nominating the validators for the current relay chain? Do people running validators need to worry about slashing etc? Is all that just a temporary setup waiting for the Kusama auction to go through?
