TRIP COMPLETE !!!
2797/2849 miles (98.2%)
This is the home page for the No Hands Across America Navlab 5
USA tour. During this tour of America, which was sponsored by Delco
Electronics, AssistWare Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University, two
researcher from CMU's Robotics Institute "drove" from Pittsburgh, PA
to San Diego, CA using the RALPH computer
program. RALPH (Rapidly Adapting Lateral Position Handler) uses video images to
determine the location of the road ahead and the appropriate steering direction
to keep the vehicle on the road. (The researchers handled the
throttle and brake.) More information about the vehicle, the
trip, and the
Navlab Project in general is already on line.
The trip journal is online as well as other
photos and press releases.
We really have a cool tshirt to commemorate the trip. If you would like to
order one check out the design.
