Lab Description

The Navlab group builds robot cars, trucks, and buses, capable of autonomous driving or driver assistance. The group has produced a series of 11 vehicles, Navlab 1 through Navlab 11. Our applications have included off-road scouting; automated highways; run-off-road collision prevention; and driver assistance for maneuvering in crowded city environments. Our current work involves pedestrian detection, surround sensing, and short range sensing for vehicle control.
