DARPA Grand Challenge Follow-On: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:38, 25 November 2005

Notes regarding possible follow-on races for DGC teams.

23 Nov 05: met with Stefano Soatto and Pietro Perona about possible "Autonomy Cup", ala the America's Cup. Stanford currently has the cup and Caltech might challenge them. Stanford would pick the rules and the date, Caltech would help coordinate the competition. We would have to figure out a way to do this for relatively low funding, or find a sponsor. Pietro will talk to Sebastian Thrun about this in a few weeks.

24 Nov 05: looked around on the DARPA site and the web for follow-on DGC events. Nothing on the DARPA bulletin boards or Google. Looked around on the Stanford site, but nothing seems to have been posted since 9 October, except for a video of the race (including footage of passing the Red Team).
- I did find one competition that has some of the features of the Grand Challenge: AUVSI Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition]. The main problem with this competition is that the speeds are low (5 mph max) and is designed for things like golf carts.
