Developing New Autonomous Systems
Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵCenter for Advanced Vehicular Systems research engineers Michael Gibson and Tyler Hannis modify a Litetrax MTX-C tracked vehicle for off-road ground vehicle research sponsored by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. The researchers are adding LiDAR, camera, GPS, and other sensors, along with powerful on-board computing that will provide Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵand ERDC researchers with a unique tracked vehicle for collecting environment and vehicle data while testing off-road self-driving systems. Custom user interfaces also are being added to the vehicle cab to allow researchers to monitor and control the self-driving systems during testing. .
