ByteDance Introduces Astra — a Dual-Module Architecture for Autonomous Robot Navigation

ByteDance has developed Astra, an innovative architecture featuring two sub-models (Astra-Global and Astra-Local), designed to overcome the limitations of traditional navigation systems for mobile robots in complex indoor environments. Astra employs a System 1/System 2 paradigm, where the global model handles localization and the local model manages path planning and odometry.
