Abstract
Many research groups have developed outdoor mobile robots and have tested them on roads. Martin Marietta (Denver) has developed “ALVin,” an autonomous mobile robot of 2.7 m in width, 4.2 m in length, 3.1 m in height, and 6 tons in weight. It takes about 2 s to process an image. ALVin has reached about 20 km/h on an unobstructed road [15]. Carnegie—Mellon University (MU) has developed “NAVLAB,” which is based on a commercial van chassis of 4 tons in weight. NAVLAB has reached 1.6 km/h on driveways on the CMU campus. It takes about 20 s to process an image [16].
