MITRE Meteor: An off-road autonomous vehicle for DARPA's Grand Challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MITRE Meteor team fielded an autonomous vehicle that competed in DARPA’s 2005 Grand Challenge race. This paper describes the team’s approach to building its robotic vehicle, the vehicle and components that let the vehicle see and act, and the computer software that made the vehicle autonomous. It presents how the team prepared for the race and how their vehicle performed.

The Overbot: An Off-Road Autonomous Ground Vehicle Testbed
The Overbot, originally designed to run the DARPA Grand Challenge, has been retasked as an off-road autonomous vehicle testbed. The base chassis is a Polaris Ranger 6x6 gasoline powered off-road vehicle. It has a single cylinder 30 HP engine capable of propelling the vehicle to over 40 mph. In addition to the chassis, the Overbot is equipped with a SiCK LiDAR on a custom gimbaled mount, a color...
متن کاملThe VIAC Challenge: Setup of an Autonomous Vehicle for a 13,000 km Intercontinental Unmanned Drive
Autonomous vehicles have been demonstrated able to reach the end of a 220 miles off-road trail (in the DARPA Grand Challenge), and1 negotiate traffic and obey traffic rules (in the DARPA Urban Challenge), but no one ever tested their capabilities on a long, intercontinental trip and stressed their systems for 3 months in a row on extreme conditions. This invited paper presents the vehicles that...
متن کاملOnline Speed Adaptation Using Supervised Learning for High-Speed, Off-Road Autonomous Driving
The mobile robotics community has traditionally addressed motion planning and navigation in terms of steering decisions. However, selecting the best speed is also important – beyond its relationship to stopping distance and lateral maneuverability. Consider a high-speed (35 mph) autonomous vehicle driving off-road through challenging desert terrain. The vehicle should drive slowly on terrain th...

متن کاملThe Single Frame Stereo Vision System for Reliable Obstacle Detection used during the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge on TerraMaxTM
Autonomous driving in off-road environments requires an exceptionally capable sensor system, especially given that the unstructured environment does not provide many of the cues available in on-road environments. This paper presents a variable-width-baseline (up to 1.5 meters) single-frame stereo vision system for obstacle detection that can meet the needs of autonomous navigation in extreme en...
