What is Artificial Intelligence Research? The 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge was a showcase for one of the most difficult real world problems to solve. The 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge pushed far beyond that. Dr. Warren MacEvoy and Mr. Karl Castleton will discuss some of the important aspects of the implementation of the Mojavaton's White Knight autonomous vehicle. Video of the NQE, slides of data of actual runs, and personal commentary will describe how algorithms and approaches used by Team Mojavaton were both clever and simple. This will be a tour of computer science, mathematics, and statistics with a heavy dose of both victory and defeat. Come listen as Dr. Warren MacEvoy and Mr. Karl Castleton walk through a 1 1/2 year struggle against amazing odds only to fail.
