ERC autonomy stack reaches simulation milestone
How the PULSAR team validated a full mission loop in simulation and what comes next for field testing.

This sprint focused on proving that our rover can complete an end-to-end mission loop in simulation: receive a goal, plan a path, execute controls, and return diagnostics.
The main outcomes were:
- A stabilized localization pipeline with reproducible results.
- Better planning behavior in narrow passages.
- A cleaner telemetry stream for debugging and replay.
Next, we are moving this setup to controlled outdoor tests and collecting logs to compare simulation versus real-world behavior.
