An automated pipeline for robotics companies to continuously improve robot navigation through simulation-based learning and real-world deployment.

Workflow Steps

1

Gazebo

Run navigation simulations

Set up hierarchical RL training environment in Gazebo with various terrain types, obstacles, and mission objectives. Configure physics simulation for walking, crawling, and climbing behaviors.

2

ROS 2

Process sensor data and actions

Create ROS nodes that bridge simulation data with real robot sensors. Process LIDAR, camera, and IMU data to train high-level action policies for different locomotion modes.

3

MLflow

Track experiments and model versions

Log training metrics, hyperparameters, and model artifacts. Version control different policy networks for walking vs. crawling behaviors and track performance across terrain types.

4

Docker

Deploy models to robot fleet

Containerize trained models and deploy to production robots via Docker containers. Enable over-the-air updates to navigation policies based on simulation improvements.
