Robotic boats could more rapidly locate the most valuable sampling spots in uncharted waters.

Model alerts driverless cars when it’s safest to merge into traffic at intersections with obstructed views.

Navigation method may speed up autonomous last-mile delivery.

By sensing tiny changes in shadows, a new system identifies approaching objects that may cause a collision.

Drones can fly at high speeds to a destination while keeping safe “backup” plans if things go awry.

Research aims to make it easier for self-driving cars, robotics, and other applications to understand the 3D world.

New capabilities allow “roboats” to change configurations to form pop-up bridges, stages, and other structures.

In “semiautonomous” cars, older drivers may need more time to take the wheel when responding to the unexpected.

L4DC explored an emerging scientific area at the intersection of real-time physical data, machine learning, control theory, and optimization.

New approach quickly finds hidden objects in dense point clouds, for use in driverless cars or work spaces with robotic assistants.
