Team XARAutonomous Vehicle Research Group Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences
Faculty Advisors Professor Crista Lopes • Artificial Intelligence “Driver” Professor Tony Givargis • Embedded Systems & Robotics Professor Isaac Scherson • Electrical Engineering
Team Goals • Develop an autonomous platform for R&D • Platform that is robust, easily controllable by software, and can serve a wide range of applications • Platform that can replace humans in hazardous environments • Platform that can complement human efforts
Accomplishments • Developed a neural network obstacle avoidance system • Developed simulations • Modified electrical vehicle to become drive by wire • And most importantly….
Autonomous Driving Success • Started with simulations • First successful obstacle avoidance • GPS following and obstacle avoidance
Next Steps • Replace hardware to increase robustness, speed, accuracy, and power • Clean up architecture and recode rapidly prototyped, software components • Fuse more sensors together • Test Improve Apply
RESCUE Applications • 3D Mapping • Area Survey & Mapping • Transportation & Crowd Control
3D Mapping • Build virtual representation of the world • Start with sensor data from lidars, radars, sonars, etc. • Overlay fused sensor data with live feed from cameras • Build bird’s eye view for command control training

Area Survey & Mapping • Send vehicle to inspect an area • Deploy sensors • Create Signal coverage map • Create Hazardous areas map
Area Survey & Mapping • Sample Scenario: Saving the Science Lib. • A: Send Autonomous vehicle to inspect area • B: Vehicle builds virtual reality of the surroundings and sends them back • C: Vehicle deploys an array of sensors allowing for full wireless coverage while mapping out the hazards it comes across
