We invite you to meet members of the award-winning Team Explorer, the CMU DARPA Subterranean Challenge team, and learn more about this groundbreaking competition. Some of the world's top universities have entered the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, developing technologies to map, navigate, and search underground environments.
Led by CMU's Robotics Institute faculty members Sebastian Scherer and Matt Travers, as well as OSU's Geoff Hollinger, Team Explorer has earned first and second place positions in the first two rounds of competition. They look forward to this third and final year of the challenge, with the competition featuring all the subdomains of tunnel systems, urban underground, and cave networks.
Please join us as Sebastian, Matt, and Geoff share the team's journey to this point, introducing several students on the team, and discussing some of the exciting technologies under development.
