Cargo UGV

Cargo Unmanned Ground Vehicle or Cargo UGV is a military robot in development that would enable a single driver to control several trucks at the same time, reducing the number of people in jeopardy on roads in a war zone. It uses a broad range of high-tech sensors to give the vehicle’s computer a picture of the world around it. The chief sensor is a three-dimensional LIDAR, or light detection and ranging system, a technology similar to radar that lets the system develop a picture of the world around it. A global positioning system coupled with detailed maps of the route helps the system navigate and keep itself on the road. (Thomson Reuters)
