ALV
From English 194 Wiki Site
The ALV was developed by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in coordination with the U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories. The ALV was developed in hope of obtaining a better understanding of image and vision technology. Through this ideal, the groups wished to provide a basis for future autonomous vehicles that could be implemented onto the actual battlefield. The ALV has been made self-contained with the use of sensory perception technologies and artificial intelligence. The lasers, video cameras and radar that feed data to a computer system allow for the robot's means of making executive decision about movement and reactions. This system is composed fo three parts: navigational system, the platform of the vehicle, as well as a vision system. The ALV is also comrpised up of the “multi-spectral three-dimensional scanner,” which will give information about distance and intensity (Lerner 156).
