MRSD Team Pairs With Penguins on Autonomous Zamboni Machine

Robots in Carnegie Mellon University’s Newell-Simon Hall can explore the moon, slither across the ground, crawl down pipes, and drive autonomously through deserts and cities. With the building’s latest inhabitant, CMU researchers are putting autonomy to work on ice. A student team from Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute (RI), dubbed AI on Ice, has partnered with three organizations to add autonomous capabilities to a two-Zamboni-machine convoy. “It is a good example of how human-guided autonomous driving technology can be used in nonroadway domains.”Read the whole story on SCS News.
