How has Carnegie Mellon University shaped the autonomous vehicle landscape?
Carnegie Mellon University has been a leader in autonomous vehicles for as long as they have been navigating the roads. From developing the first autonomous vehicle with all onboard computing to winning DARPA Grand Challenges, CMU can be credited to many breakthroughs in autonomous vehicles.
The NavLab has been a pillar for computer vision for autonomous vehicle development at CMU. In this lab tour, scholars learned about the history of the NavLab and autonomous vehicle development at Carnegie Mellon University. Scholars were also exposed to some of the current techniques for camera and LIDAR based vision and perception and the tradeoffs between geometric and deep-learning-based computer vision techniques.
