Regents Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University
Presentation Description
This presentation focuses on the status of an active project on automated vehicles for rural roads and dense city traffic. The primary focus is on map-light driving on rural roads where the vehicle must rely on its own perception, planning and control algorithms as opposed to a high definition map. The present work remains in progress but certain results based on recent developments at the RELLIS Campus of Texas A&M University and on public roads in Brazos County (where Texas A&M University) is located will be presented.
