Stanford Robot completes Grand Challenge

Stanford’s Stanley Robotic vehicle has travelled 136 miles autonomously to complete Darpa’s Grand Challenge.

Quite amazingly three vehicles have made it across the finish line this year. Last year (the first year) no Robot travelled more than eight miles.

Congrats to the teams!

Here are some videos:

Here’s a video of the Stanley Robot among others making a 90 degree turn on a dirt road. (The second vehicle (blue Volkswagen Touareg R5) in the video is the winning Robot.)
