Stanley: The Robot that Won the DARPA Grand Challenge

TLDR
The robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, was developed for high‐speed desert driving without manual intervention and relied predominately on state‐of‐the‐art artificial intelligence technologies, such as machine learning and probabilistic reasoning.
Abstract
This article describes the robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. Stanley was developed for high-speed desert driving without human intervention. The robot’s software system relied predominately on state-of-the-art AI technologies, such as machine learning and probabilistic reasoning. This article describes the major components of this architecture, and discusses the results of the Grand Challenge race.

An approach integrating planning and image-based visual servo control for road following and moving obstacles avoidance

TL;DR: An approach that integrates planning and image based visual servo control for road following and moving obstacle avoidance and represents a robot's general plan or strategy in the form of a finite state machine or automaton is proposed.

A New Approach to Model-Free Tracking with 2D Lidar

TL;DR: A novel state formulation is proposed that captures joint estimates of the sensor pose, a local static background and dynamic states of moving objects, and a new hierarchical data association algorithm to associate raw laser measurements to observable states.

Remembering the Past for Meaningful AI-D.

TL;DR: The history and challenges of both AI and ICT4D research are described, and three broad suggestions for AI-for-development researchers are presented: that they spend as much time as possible with the kind of site or the organization they are hoping to impact.

Acquisition of RGB-D images: methods

TL;DR: Three main methods of depth measurement are concentrated on: stereovision, structured light and time of flight, which deliberate on their properties, analyse the complexity of required computations and present potential applications.

Comparison of path following controllers for autonomous vehicles

TL;DR: An implementation of a lateral dynamic bicycle model, and an implementation of different controllers to evaluate which is the speed limit, as long as the values calculated on the lateralynamic bicycle model approximate the actual results in a simulation environment with sufficient precision.

Pattern classification and scene analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a unified, comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of both statistical and descriptive methods for pattern recognition is provided, including Bayesian decision theory, supervised and unsupervised learning, nonparametric techniques, discriminant analysis, clustering, preprosessing of pictorial data, spatial filtering, shape description techniques, perspective transformations, projective invariants, linguistic procedures, and artificial intelligence techniques for scene analysis.

New extension of the Kalman filter to nonlinear systems

TL;DR: It is argued that the ease of implementation and more accurate estimation features of the new filter recommend its use over the EKF in virtually all applications.

Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempt to find a middle ground by balancing engineering principles and equations of use to every automotive engineer with practical explanations of the mechanics involved, so that those without a formal engineering degree can still comprehend and use most of the principles discussed.
