TDR Reviews:

Standouts:

Structural:

• Lots of focus on modularity
• Condensing enclosures into 1-2
• Thermal concerns—material selections
• External battery holders reduced thermal load

Power:

• Separation of power distribution/estop circuitry and main compute board
• Status LED for PWM motor display
• Current sensing/BMS, lots of electrical telemetry
• Magnetic e-stop (hall effect/reed switch)

Networking

• Waypointing/computer vision hybrid
  • Waypointing for navigation, computer vision for fine control
• YOLO models, modified for color/lighting differences
• Full computer vision has high computing overhead/latency
• Blender/UE5 for synthetic data collection
  • Lots of focus on simulation in general
• Split between DVL and SLAM

Compute

• Task exit strategies (timeout)
