An autonomous off-road robot based on integrative technologies

This paper presents an autonomous off-road robot designed by converging highly reliable integrative technologies. The mechanical, electrical, and computing platforms of the robot are highly stable and easy to configure and can be used as a general robotics prototyping infrastructure for unmanned ground vehicle. Part of the design is an interactive graphical simulation interface that proved to correlate well with field trials. Field experiments have shown that the system is highly efficient.
