1. A method comprising:
receiving first sensor data generated using a first type of sensor of a machine and second sensor data generated using a second type of sensor of the machine;
generating, using one or more neural networks and based at least on the first sensor data and the second sensor data, at least one of a height map or an occupancy map; and
causing, based at least on the at least one of the height map or the occupancy map, the machine to perform one or more operations.
