Build
Separating verified hardware from planned autonomy while designing bounded commands, stale command stops and a split compute architecture.
RESULT
The embedded Linux control layer is live and verified before motor power, sensing and autonomy are introduced.
- NOW
- Raspberry Pi bring up is verified. Motor control, sensing and NVIDIA Jetson software remain staged milestones.
- NEXT
- Verify power and motor control before adding IMU, encoders and Jetson perception.
