Team Oshkosh (formerly known as Team TerraMax) is ready to compete for the third time in the DARPA Urban Challenge, this time gearing up for an urban-based autonomous challenge. The team has the expertise, energy and dedication to field a robotic vehicle that is ready to tackle the Urban Challenge in 2007.

Teledyne Scientific Company (formerly Rockwell Scientific Company) was a major contributor to the Team’s success in the last Grand Challenge with much of the software generated around their unique and high performance algorithms. The Team will again rely on them to support mission and path planning, and much of the vehicle’s high level control and programming. Auburn University also returns to provide some of the same support from last year in working to provide a well thought out and robust GPS/IMU package capable for the task of urban operations.

We are excited to bring urban navigational capabilities to our sensor systems, stemming from our strong relationships with the University of Parma and IBEO. They will be providing exclusive vision system and LIDAR solutions that they have been developing in Europe for many years with focus on the challenges the DARPA Urban Challenge presents.
