Strategic Objectives
• Master the networking stack optimized for real-time robotic feedback loops.
• Implement advanced offloading strategies to balance power and performance.
• Navigate the complexities of distributed middleware and high-stakes handoff logic.
• Build resilient systems that maintain autonomy during network degradation.
The Core Challenge
Roboticists struggle with the 'latency wall,' where critical handoffs between local compute and remote servers fail due to poor orchestration.
