Closed-loop control, sim to real

Autonomy proven in simulation now drives assembled hardware. The V0 hull is printed, sealed, and leak-tested.

Video · Vantage under closed-loop control

Vantage is now under closed-loop control on assembled hardware. The multi-axis control stack, proven in high-fidelity simulation, now runs hardware-in-the-loop on the physical vehicle, carrying the same autonomy from sim to real.

The V0 hull is fully 3D printed and has passed its rear-seal leak test, with the rear enclosure sealed and no water ingress. Vehicle assembled, control loop closed. Next stop: water.
