Re: Kit item request for 2006

I'd like to see some kind of radar system. Something similar to http://www.ri.cmu.edu/pubs/pub_561.html
Quote:
This thesis research presents the design and evaluation of an integrated sensor system for obstacle detection and collision avoidance for automobile vehicles and mobile robot outdoor navigation.
...
Clutter rejection and the ability to classify and differentiate between objects in different road lanes and off-road is improved by integration of the radar data with information from a road geometry perception system. Road geometry perception is based on either of two systems: the first one detects road lane markers or other features parallel to the road through a video camera and thereby computes vehicle position and orientation with respect to the current driving lane; the second system uses a digital road map in combination with a GPS and heading gyroscope unit to compute vehicle location and orientation on the road. Finally, we discuss the performance results obtained for both systems.
It sounds pretty hard, but this is FIRST =D
