The UMass Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Project

Project Overview:

The UMass Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) project is part of the larger ARPA-sponsored UGV effort. From the spring of 1991 to the spring of 1994, UMass' role in the UGV program was to develop the Mobile Perception Laboratory (MPL), a NAVLAB-like vehicle designed to support research at UMass and elsewhere on landmark-based navigation, motion & stereo-based obstacle avoidance, and 3D map construction. The MPL was completed and turned over to TACOM in May of 1994.

Currently, the UMass UGV team is looking to contribute to ARPA's UGV program with research in terrain reconstruction, stealth navigation behaviors and RSTA.
