El programa\u00a0Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resilency (RACER) de DARPA\u00a0se\u00a0centra en el avance de la autonom\u00eda todoterreno de los veh\u00edculos de combate y busca demostrar la capacidad de estas plataformas para viajar a velocidades que mantengan el ritmo de los veh\u00edculos de combate tripulados en terrenos complejos t\u00edpicos de los que se ven en situaciones reales.\u00a0Los robots RFV incluyen un rango de 360 grados\u00a0y detecci\u00f3n de im\u00e1genes.<\/p>\n
DARPA\u2019s\u00a0Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER)<\/a>\u00a0program is picking up speed after three teams were selected to go to the starting line last October. The program is focused on advancing off-road autonomy of combat vehicles and seeks to demonstrate the ability of these platforms to travel at speeds that maintain pace with manned combat vehicles in complex terrain typical of that seen in real situations. Awards for Phase 1 were given to Carnegie Mellon University, NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and University of Washington.<\/p>\n The DARPA RACER program\u2019s goal is to develop and demonstrate autonomy technologies that enable unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to maneuver in unstructured off-road terrain at the limit of the vehicle\u2019s mechanical systems and at, or beyond, human-driven speeds and efficiencies. \u201cRACER is intended to disruptively advance the integration and fielding of autonomy for robotic combat vehicles into the Army, Marine Corps, and Special Forces communities,\u201d said\u00a0Stuart Young<\/a>, RACER program manager in DARPA\u2019s\u00a0Tactical Technology Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n In November, the selected teams received the first of the DARPA-provided RACER Fleet Vehicles (RFVs) \u2013 a high performance all-terrain vehicle outfitted with world-class sensing and computational abilities \u2013 that they are using to develop platform-based autonomy for testing at upcoming DARPA-hosted field experiments.<\/p>\n
