As a Summer Intern, you will contribute to the design and implementation of an automated, end-to-end Map Change Detection Pipeline
Your mission will be to process incoming data from our active testing fleet, compare it against our base HD maps, and isolate permanent structural changes from daily clutter (like parked cars or pedestrians)
This pipeline will directly drive our automated map-updating engine, keeping our fleet safe and scalable
LiDAR Algorithm Development: Design, develop, and optimize cutting-edge LiDAR-based localization and mapping algorithms to enhance the autonomy of vehicles
Map Support: Refine both online and offline map generation algorithms to improve and sustain localization precision
Map Interface Enhancement: Advance the functionality and user experience of the LiDAR map interface, focusing on the robust management of various map versions
Sensor Fusion Development: Skillfully merge LiDAR data with other sensory inputs (e.g., GPS, IMU, cameras) to devise integrated, real-time mapping and localization solutions
Continue to grow within the team, taking on more complex projects and pushing the boundaries of autonomous vehicle technology
