University of Michigan Autonomous Robotic Vehicle

This past Sunday, ARV hosted Pradyumna Vasudevan from Aptiv for a tech talk! Pradyumna talked about his work with Aptiv and the cutting-edge technology they are developing. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity. ARV also wants to give a special thank you to Jessica DeJong from Aptiv for making all of this possible. Aptiv's support has been instrumental in our mission to foster robotics education and equip students with both interpersonal and technical skills that will make them ready for the industry. ARV looks forward to our continued partnership!

Check out what our computer vision team has been up to! We are excited to share some of the amazing work that our computer vision team has been doing lately. This week, Arnav Shah from our computer vision team showed us their progress on mapping out and identifying drivable areas. This will be essential to navigate the course at the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition. If you are interested in joining our computer vision team or learning more about our work, please visit our website at www.umarv.com. #umarv #computervision #cv #machinelearning #ml #autonomousvehicles #robotics #lanedetection #selfdriving

Check out what our embedded systems team has been working on! We are excited to share some of the work that our embedded subteam has been doing this semester. This week, our embedded team got teleoperation working on our robot. This will not only help with testing our robot’s platform, but soon, will also allow other subteams to test their autonomous driving algorithms. We can’t wait to see what the embedded team comes up with next! If you are interested in joining our embedded systems team or learning more about our work, please visit our website at www.umarv.com.

Yesterday, a few members from UMARV toured Mcity's testing facility. We were amazed by the state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology that pushes us closer to a future of autonomous vehicles. Mcity's resources and support will be invaluable in the development of our robot. We wanted to take a moment to thank Jim Lollar of Mcity for giving us the tour and Sarah Cicotte of Ann Arbor SPARK for making this possible. UMARV is excited about our future partnership! #umarv #umich #mcity #av #autonomousvehicles

Check out what our computer vision team has been up to! We are excited to share some of the amazing work that our computer vision team has been doing lately. They have made a lot of progress in mapping out drivable areas and real-time object detection using machine learning as well as traditional algorithms. This will help us improve our object-avoidance, navigation, and routing algorithms for our robot. We are proud of our computer vision team and their achievements; we can’t wait to see what they will come up with next!

This past Sunday, UMARV hosted Aaron Bloom from General Motors for a tech talk! Aaron talked about his work with EVs and AVs, and General Motors' vision for autonomous vehicles. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity. UMARV also wants to thank KC Connolly from General Motors for making all of this possible. General Motors’ support has been instrumental in our mission to foster robotics education and equip students with both interpersonal and technical skills that will make them ready for the industry. UMARV looks forward to our continued partnership. #umarv #umich #engineering #ev #electricvehicles #av #autonomousvehicles #autonomy

We are extremely grateful for the design review with General Motors this past Monday! The feedback we received from the General Motors team will be very useful in the development of our robot. UMARV looks forward to our continued partnership. A special thank you to KC Connolly and the engineers from General Motors for making this possible. #umarv #umich #autonomousvehicles #autonomy #robotics #goblue #engineering
