Path Planning &
Hallucination for High-Speed Navigation of Trails
Chris Urmson
1507 Newell-Simon Hall
Refreshments 4:15 pm
Talk 4:30 pm
This talk presents the algorithms that enabled the
Red Team to navigate desert trails at speeds upto 15m/s. The path planning algorithms will be
detailed, with an emphasis placed on their capabilities and limitations. One of the notable challenges was planning
inspite of incompletely sensed terrain; our approach of hallucinating data as a
solution to this problem will be presented.
There will of course be some exciting robot video
too.
