Why We Compete in DARPA’s Urban Challenge Autonomous Robot Race
The robots will have to find their own way, sensing and predicting their whereabouts through automated perception, planning, and control.
Planning and navigation algorithms exploit statistics gleaned from uncertain, imperfect real-world environments to guide robots toward their goals and around obstacles.
