Abstract

This paper introduces the autonomous vehicle Pharos, which participated in the 2010 Autonomous Vehicle Competition organized by Hyundai-Kia motors. Pharos was developed for high-speed on/off-road unmanned driving avoiding diverse patterns of obstacles. For the high speed traveling up to 60 Km/h, long range terrain perception, real-time path planning and high speed vehicle motion control algorithms are developed. This paper describes the major hardware and software components of our vehicle.

This work was supported partly by the R&D program of the Korea Ministry of Knowledge and Economy (MKE) and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT). (Project: 3D Perception and Robot Navigation Technology for Unstructured Environments, M002300090).
