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):
|-
#Drone-based multiview reconstruction using ROS + openMVG/MVS for topographical mapping
! scope=row | 1
#Open hardware rotary laser level + machine-mounted receiver for fine grading
| [[Requirements + Value Proposition]] ||  [[Open Source Skid Steer Requirements + Value Proposition]]  || 0
#Real-time toolpath planning using RViz + Open3D + RTAB-Map


I plan to use the BeagleBone AI-64, an open-source platform to control the skid-steer, is this acceptable?
|-
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.
