Based on our initial conversation, I identified broad steps for a full-stack, open-source grading autonomy system. The stack is scoped within ROS and “SLAM”  framework (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping, which was a major focus of my PhD):
*Eduardo Parada - https://about.me/edanpari - eduardo@farmy.earth
#Drone-based multiview reconstruction using ROS + openMVG/MVS for topographical mapping
*Dr. Pearce - https://www.eng.uwo.ca/electrical//faculty/pearce_j/index.html
#Open hardware rotary laser level + machine-mounted receiver for fine grading
*Dr. Baskaran - https://oshwa.org/team/avinash-baskaran/ avinash@oshwa.org
#Real-time toolpath planning using RViz + Open3D + RTAB-Map
*Chas Murillo - openhousepartybychasmurillo@gmail.com
 
*James Sperry - james@jamessperry.com
I plan to use the BeagleBone AI-64, an open-source platform to control the skid-steer, is this acceptable?
*Colby Thomson - Power Cubes, alternative fuels, software - colbyt@gmail.com
Step 1 above is optional when elevation changes are minor compared to the receiver height, but I think it’s a valuable addition for enabling full autonomy. I’ve also received a high-fidelity SparkFun RTK GPS module from Nathan Seidle, which I’ll use to validate and calibrate the localization. Overall this approach balances cost, industry-aligned best practices, and high RoI. It also generalizes to applications at PARC, like autonomous crop and livestock management and hydrology.
 
Looking forward to sharing and discussing initial results soon.
