Interesting new research from Google AI on navigating indoor spaces shows how to cross the dreaded "sim2real gap" where things that work in the simulator don't as well in the real world. NVIDIA doing similar work (to be announced at GTC in a few weeks) ai.googleblog.com/2019/02/long-r…

What a journey! From my first visit to Maker Faire NY in 2012, where I saw Chris Anderson speak and present his book "Makers", to my first time showing @DIYBarApp to thousands of people. This is only the beginning! Thanks Chris for stopping by and signing my copy.

Today, we're announcing that we'll ship your first two sensors within two weeks. The Ouster Lead Time Guarantee is the first of its kind in lidar, made possible by our all-semiconductor design. Learn more here: ouster.io/blog-posts/201…
