Build the machine that builds the machine
A shift back to large end-to-end machine learning models
My latest DirectorPlus column with LeadDev interviews Bedrock Robotics' CTO, Kevin Peterson, on what it takes to develop highly adaptable and safe autonomous machines.
Lately, a big shift he's noticed is a move away from many small, purpose-built models toward one end-to-end system that computes its own best representation.
They're putting this to practice in the field — quite literally — developing models that allow excavators to operate autonomously in large-scale construction projects.
Peterson was formerly leading autonomous system development at Waymo and Caterpillar, so he has some really great experience to share, which other AI/ML or robotics experts will appreciate.
Read the post here, and if you're an engineering leader, definitely consider
signing up for DirectorPlus for a monthly check-in with an experienced director, VP, or CTO on a new subject!
