How Neural Networks Power Robots at Starship
Starship is building a fleet of robots to deliver packages locally on demand. To successfully achieve this, the robots must be safe, polite and quick. But how do you get there with low computational resources and without expensive sensors such as LIDARs? This is the engineering reality you need to […]
How Starship Delivery Robots know where they are going
