Mini-ITX robot vehicle in desert race
November 17, 2003 Seth Cabe's VIA-sponsored Team Loghiq has qualified in the final 19 teams to enter a robotic-vehicle race with a prize fund of $1 million. The DARPA Grand Challenge grew out of a Defense Department mandate to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicle technologies for military purposes. So if Seth beats contenders on March 13, 2004 from Carnegie Mellon University and the California Institute of Technology, his ideas could be used to operate the unmanned combat vehicles of the future - unless DARPA goes into the robot vacuum cleaner business. The 250 mile course between Los Angeles and Las Vegas will require the computer-driven vehicles to drive through or around a variety of terrain including sand, mud, boulders, ditches and barbed wire. GPS navigation is allowed, but won't work on at least one overpass. Time to update your website Seth!
