…happens at the sensor? Aggarwal: The less time spent cleaning the data, the better. To see through occlusions, light goes out, and we get data back and rate the confidence. We have different algorithms determine if it's good or if there's shadow. We have a metric to rate the confidence of each data point, and we have some features like blockage detection that we can use. There are also hardware elements for things like dust. The robot designer needs to know how to clean the sensor or to add a heating element to defrost for snow. As we move along…
