Vision and Navigation: The Carnegie Mellon Navlab is a collection of papers from the Navlab Project, edited by Charles E. Thorpe. The project focuses on the development of technologies for mobile robots capable of autonomous navigation in natural outdoor environments. The book includes contributions from various researchers and covers topics such as color vision for road following, explicit models for robot road following, knowledge-based interpretation of outdoor natural color road scenes, neural network based autonomous navigation, car recognition, 3-D vision techniques for autonomous vehicles, and vehicle and path models for autonomous navigation. The book also discusses the Navlab, an autonomous navigation testbed, and the Warp Machine on Navlab. The project has been instrumental in advancing the field of intelligent robotics, developing new algorithms for sensing, and creating comprehensive planning and integration architectures. The book represents a major milestone in autonomous mobile robot research in the 1980s and provides a foundation for future research in the 1990s. The Navlab Project has played a catalytic role in studying, advancing, and integrating many facets of intelligent robotics.Vision and Navigation: The Carnegie Mellon Navlab is a collection of papers from the Navlab Project, edited by Charles E.
