| + | In the subsequent chapters, we will delve deeper into these topics with a framing informed by autonomy abstractions as shown in the figure below. At the “bottom” of these abstractions are the physical objects such as the mechanical devices and the associated electronics hardware. Layered above the electronics hardware layer are various software layers which start with middleware/ | ||
