13
00:00:29,525 --> 00:00:31,691
computer vision to build a 3d model of 

14
00:00:31,691 --> 00:00:33,913
its environment allowing it to navigate 

15
00:00:33,913 --> 00:00:36,191

that may take 3 to 5 maintainers over 

19
00:00:42,358 --> 00:00:44,525

29
00:01:02,981 --> 00:01:04,815
launch will help evaluate system 

30
00:01:04,815 --> 00:01:06,703
performance and maintain a strong

34
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:14,592
