My cat's collision avoidance can be both outstanding and abysmal. Context: she's running a purely vision based system at the moment (supported by elastic proximity sensors at the snout and excellent remote sensing for both chemical and acoustic stimuli) and she still bumps against my leg several times a day. And not just once but repeatedly. Something might be bugged here as she's not having issues with any other static and most dynamic objects either. I'm not sure about the details but since she's not getting any explicit upgrades to her high resolution 3D map, so she might using an advanced SLAM system. The latter is supported by observations that she has no troubles moving in previously unseen environments like while being at the vet.
Acceleration is good, agility as well, still sure-footed too, so her movement predictions and the execution seem to match well. So the only complaint is the frequent bumps against my leg. Maybe her system is misclassifying something as she's not having problems otherwise. Does not need to have a LIDAR upgrade, I think.
Edit: thinking of it more she does show this exact problem with other objects as well. Might need to debug her or get a decision-explaining version of her net installed.

- chronolitus 7y agoSeems like the company which built her model really took it's time designing and testing the software.
