Full autonomous perception and manipulation like a human does not exist yet; many humanoid robot demos rely on teleoperation and sensor redundancy.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has frequently expressed his opinions on LiDAR in the past, but in recent days, the EV maker's frontman has continued to discuss the weaknesses in the technology and why his company has relied on cameras. He also mentioned the suite's limits on Waymo's capabilities. Tesla completely abandoned using radar alongside its camera suite a few years ago, something it referred to as "Tesla Vision" at the time.
Design and implement custom machine learning architectures for vision-based navigation and control. Develop and optimize real-time perception systems using CNNs, transformers, or event-based vision. Apply deep reinforcement learning and MPC to guide autonomous behaviors in dynamic environments. Architect robust sensor fusion pipelines with IMUs, event cameras, lidar, radar, and visual odometry. Build, train, and evaluate ML models in simulation and deploy them to embedded hardware.
