Roadmap
By the time the article was written, the NDT and Eagleye were tested on the vehicle. Both strategies face challenges. The Eagleye requires RTK GNSS sensor to work. Hence, there is no out-of-box localization method on on vehicle. The NDT method is unable to stabilize on the the solid-state LiDAR, and it takes up to three minutes to converge to a precise location.
The team is seeking for the way to do localization based on solid-state LiDAR. The initial steps is to check if the builtin NDT algorithm could revised. Also, we seeing whether if cuNDT algorithm could be the replacement to boost the performance.
The vehicle interface was mostly complete by the end of 2024. Now it supports smooth vehicle acceleration and speed measurement.
Most sensors are ready by the end of 2024, including the camera, LiDAR and IMU. The only remaining item is the compass that provides orientation to the vehicle. Currently, we're working on MPU9250 to enable its compass feature.
