An autonomous system is more than just a machine—it is a self-reliant decision-maker. Using sensors, AI, and control systems, it can sense its environment, make decisions, and act without human intervention.
Steps in autonomy:
Sensing: Cameras, radars, and LiDARs gather environmental data.
Perception: Machine learning interprets this data into real-world understanding.
Planning: Algorithms choose the safest and most efficient path.
Control: The robot executes the plan while adapting to real-time changes.
