Have you heard of the DARPA Challenge? It’s a competition set up by the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA has been investigating technologies needed to create the first fully autonomous ground vehicles capable of completing a substantial off-road course within a limited time.
A team of engineering students from the University of California at Berkeley, which calls themselves the Blue Team, decided to be different and fielded their entrant – ‘Ghostrider‘. ‘Ghostrider‘ is the only robotic motorcycle entrant in the DARPA Grand Challenge. Most of the other entries have four wheels. Blue Team’s Anthony Levandowski describes how this riderless robot vehicle igneniously keeps itself stable using steering alone in the video below, by Nova (WGBH).
‘Ghostrider‘ contains 32 separate electronic components. Beyond DGPS, it is using only high speed cameras as sensor inputs. The are two types of cameras used onboard. First, a pair of high resolution 1600×1200 ethernet cameras manufactured by Cognex used for creating realtime 3D scene of the obstacles in front of the vehicle. Second a single CCD, high speed (40 Hz), colour camera is used for road detection. By interfacing to a Crossbow gyro for current roll, pitch and yaw angle orientation of ‘Ghostrider’’s errors can be corrected, enabling the sensors to be pointed in any direction required.
The Blue Team is sponsored by Agilent Technologies, Raytheon, DRS Technologies, Berkeley Engineering, Topcon, HD Systems, Cognex, Memtech, Crossbow, Alpha Data, Xilinx, EMC2, HAAS, National Instruments, EDT, Hitachi, PCBexpress, SanDisk, Glenair, Crydom, SpaceAge Control, Enidine and others.
