DARPA Urban Challenge Technical Paper: Sydney-Berkeley Driving Team
The Sydney-Berkeley Driving Team is a collaboration between academic and research personnel from (in alphabetical order) the National Information and Communication Technology of Australia, University of California, Berkeley, University of Sydney, and the University of Technology, Sydney. This document describes the planning, actuation, simulation, communication, theoretical tasks, advancements, and projections necessary for the team to compete in the DARPA Urban Challenge.
Among our major accomplishments, we claim the ability for distributed code development through the use of our component-based middleware, a high-confidence testbed which was designed and implemented from the ground up by our engineers, prototype testing in months, and robust software design and development allowing a seamless transition between simulation and online testing.
