Launch HN: Polymath Robotics (YC S22) – General autonomy for industrial vehicles
I work in robotics, I understand that every robotics company builds substantially similar core autonomy for different industrial vehicles, so I definitely see the value of what you&#x27;re creating. However, every company needs to figure out how their autonomy will handle their specific vehicle&#x27;s dynamics and their specific physical environment. For vehicle dynamics, they have to model things like wheel slippage on rough terrain, articulating joints on multi-axle vehicles, braking distance while hauling a load. For physical environment, they have to figure out how dust, fog, and poor lighting conditions affect their sensing and perception. Do you intend to make custom sim vehicles for each of your customers? Will you simulate each customer&#x27;s particular camera&#x2F;lidar&#x2F;other sensor in their specific environment?
