The Center for Intelligent Machines and Robotics (CIMAR) at the University of Florida has worked in the area of autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) for several years under the sponsorship of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. The objective of the work is to develop technological capabilities that can be applied to a variety of Air Force needs and application areas. Recently, one of these capabilities ...
This investigation was performed to provide a migration path for the standard vehicle control unit used by the Air Force Ground Robotics Group at AFRL/MLQF in anticipation of requirements to control large high speed vehicles for crash rescue and fire fighting applications on military runways. The control systems of small, slow moving machines common in research and development platforms have historically ignored vehicle dynamics beyond basic parameters such as acceleration, ...
