🔍 Off-road vehicle autonomy is poised to revolutionize sectors like agriculture, mining, construction, forestry, defense, search & rescue, and more. However, developing robust off-road autonomy technologies presents unique challenges compared to on-road systems, requiring cutting-edge research and innovative solutions.
🌲 Key challenges include:
1️. Navigating unstructured terrain with obstacles such as rocks, trees, and ditches.2️. Developing reliable localization techniques beyond GPS for dynamic off-road environments.3️. Detecting and avoiding dynamic obstacles, such as pedestrians and wildlife.4️. Addressing stability and control over steep inclines and rough terrains.5️. Ensuring reliable operation under harsh weather conditions and varying lighting.6️. Managing limited communication infrastructure in remote areas.
🚀 Our workshop aims to bring together experts from the control, dynamics, and robotics communities to discuss these critical challenges and explore the latest advancements in modeling, system identification, and control techniques for off-road autonomy.
👥 This workshop will feature prominent speakers, including professors and researchers from:
University of Michigan
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)
Clemson University
Texas A&M University
These experts will share their cutting-edge research and insights into the future of off-road vehicle autonomy.
