"Rust in Motion: Building Reliable and Performant Robotics Systems"
summary
A fleet of autonomous last‑mile delivery robots gets built and migrated from C/C++ to Rust using the Rust FFI to interoperate with existing code, an ownership model and lifetimes to eliminate null pointer and buffer overflow crashes, threads plus channels and Arc/Mutex for concurrent sensor fusion, and an A‑star pathfinding implementation with a binary heap for low‑latency decisions. Results show a substantial drop in memory‑related crashes and faster, more predictable path planning, enabling scalable, reliable operation.
