Slide 3 - Key Challenges

The slide outlines key challenges in processing unstructured point clouds, which lack essential semantic context such as distinguishing between humans and racks. It also highlights issues with high-accuracy models being too slow for real-time safety applications and reactive navigation causing inefficient stops due to the absence of trajectory prediction.

Key Challenges

  • Unstructured point clouds lack semantic context (e.g., human vs. rack).
  • High-accuracy models too slow for real-time safety loops.
  • Reactive navigation without trajectory prediction leads to inefficient stops.

Slide 5 - Dual-Pipeline Breakdown

The Dual-Pipeline Breakdown slide divides robot navigation into a Fast Path, which uses deterministic depth processing on LIDAR and depth sensor data for low-latency (<30ms) collision avoidance without semantic analysis, acting as a virtual bumper. The Smart Path, operating at >200ms, employs Vision Language Models for semantic obstacle differentiation and 1-3s trajectory prediction, integrated with EKF sensor fusion for accurate 6-DOF pose estimation.
