Project Description

The goal of the project is to increase speed and enhance the reliability of robotic vehicles in rugged outdoor settings.

RANGER has navigated over distances of 15 autonomous kilometers, moving continuously, and has at times reached speeds of 15 km/hr. The system has been used successfully on a converted U.S. Army jeep called the NAVLAB II and on a specialized Lunar Rover vehicle that may, one day, explore the moon.
