Abstract:
|
An important consideration in the use of any unmanned ground vehicle is safety for those in proximity to the vehicle. Pedestrian tracking and avoidance is pursued using a variety of sensors and algorithms to process the sensor returns. For military application, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in conjunction with industry and academic partners has conducted an extensive experimental investigation into the performance of various approaches. In this talk I will describe the design and analysis for this investigation.
