[Colloquium] Daniel Huttenlocher, Cornell University - TTI-C Talk

[Gary Hamburg]

When:             Tuesday, January 29, 2008 @ 12:00 pm

 

Where:            Eckhart 133

 

Who:               Daniel Huttenlocher - Cornell University

 

Topic:              Team Cornell and the DARPA Urban Challenge: Vehicle,
Results, and Next Steps

 

 

Team Cornell was one of six teams to complete the 2007 DARPA Urban
Challenge, covering over 56 miles in an urban environment in approximately
six hours of autonomous driving.  The competition included many urban
driving scenarios, such as staying in a lane, merging into traffic, passing,
intersections, parking, and even robot-robot interaction.  Team Cornell
designed and built a vehicle around technological innovations in vehicle
automation, data distribution, tightly coupled pose estimation, scene
estimation including localization within an urban environment, and tracking
obstacles with a fusion of laser, radar and vision sensors, and hierarchical
intelligent planning.  Team Cornell's vehicle was designed to drive
"human-like" with smooth, intelligent behaviors, even in the presence of a
vast array of uncertainties.  

 

This talk will present some of the key technologies, results from the
semi-finals and finals, and plans for future research using the vehicle.
