Make it move
The biggest task lies in movement because the requirements for mobile robots and platforms are very complex: Where am I? What does my environment look like? How can I reach my destination safely? What can be done while moving from A to B? What task must be completed at the destination?
That's the challenge: To detect everything in the environment, not missing anything, avoiding obstacles and reaching the destination safely.
