Abstract
Navigating unstructured environments requires reliable perception that generates an appropriate world representation. This representation must encompass all types of impediments to traversal, whether they be insurmountable obstacles, or mobility inhibitors such as soft soil. Traditionally, traversability and obstacle avoidance have represented separate capabilities with individual rangefinders dedicated to each task. This paper presents a statistical technique that, through the analysis of the underlying 21/2 D terrain map, determines the probability of an obstacle. This integrated approach eliminates the need for multiple data sources and is applicable to range data from various sources, including laser rangefinders and stereo vision. The proposed obstacle detection technique has been tested in simulated environments and under real world conditions, and these experiments revealed that it accurately identifies obstacles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
