Dragon is using a flash LIDAR made by Advanced Scientific Concepts.[1][2] 128x128 pixels.
The Russians used a KURS unit, which is a cooperative (the ISS has a transponder to talk to it) radar-based system. That was from Ukraine, and after going to war with Ukraine, Russia had to develop an in-house system.
All of this stuff is older technology, predating machine learning.
