Team Juggernaut ’ s Robust Approach for the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge
نویسنده
چکیده
Beginning with the Pronto4TM Strap-on Autonomy System — a retrofit kit that makes any existing vehicle with a steering wheel a drive-by-wire system — and including a flexible, shared variable software base running on an open architecture system, DesignJug is enhancing its technology by creating a new sensor platform with supporting software that provides input to the team’s Actively Refined Reality Model.

This technical report describes Team MIT's approach to the DARPA Urban Challenge. We have developed a novel strategy for using many inexpensive sensors, mounted on the vehicle periphery, and calibrated with a new crossmodal calibration technique. Lidar, camera, and radar data streams are processed using an innovative, locally smooth state representation that provides robust perception for real...

متن کاملEmpirical Evaluation of an Autonomous Vehicle in an Urban Environment
Operation in urban environments creates unique challenges for research in autonomous ground vehicles. Due to the presence of tall trees and buildings in close proximity to traversable areas, GPS outage is likely to be frequent and physical hazards pose real threats to autonomous systems. In this paper, we describe a novel autonomous platformdeveloped by the Sydney-Berkeley Driving Team for entr...
متن کاملSituational Reasoning for Road Driving in an Urban Environment
Robot navigation in urban environments requires situational reasoning. Given the complexity of the environment and the behavior specified by traffic rules, it is necessary to recognize the current situation to impose the correct traffic rules. In an attempt to manage the complexity of the situational reasoning subsystem, this paper describes a finite state machine model to govern the situationa...
