The ROBOT's CLEVER CAR was ready to circulate IN Street in 2030

Still remembered how the clever “KITT� car? In serial Knight Rider television that previously could be popular. The car that could go personally, knew the street, as well as progressed with the tight speed beyond various barriers, without needing a driver to control him. Possibly that time, KITT only one fantasi.Tapi not during several forthcoming years. Several convincing experts if the clever car that did not need the driver will become a reality.

An amount engineer from Stanford University announced the birth “Junior,�? One of the robot's clever cars that was ready to progress in the free street without necessary driver.Mobil this robot was built based Volkswagen Passat Wagon the production 2006. To test the junior strength, the robot's car will enter the competition stage for his three times.

The race The DARPA Urban Challenge that will take place last November 3 2007 of the robot's cars. Several cars will without the driver collide the capacity drive in an artificial city. This car had the completeness as well as the skill to organise himself, know the traffic, beyond the densely populated intersection, avoid the disturbance of the road, and of course control skills of a good driver . “Mobil-car this was steered by one artificial intelligence (the artificial intelligentsia) ,�? Revealed Sebastian Thrun, the computer expert but also the professor of electrical engineering in Stanford.

Stannford but also Thrun in fact operated this clever car in the street beforehand. The team from Stanford that followed the clever race of the car race during 2005, to the first champion. But unfortunately, the race took place in the Nevada. desert furthermore, we wanted the car to go in the street where we leave,�? Levelly Thrun. Thrun said, junior had the completeness that in want to kan.control of the Volkswagon car the Stanford mainstay really relied on the computer. Both that the steering wheel, the machine, and his brake were modified in such a way without needing the control of the manual completely. A set of laser equipment was placed to the car bumper.

The laser that could provide the view 360 levels of three dimensions about the situation in and around the car. In the meantime the radar but also the centre system supplied the data to the computer to know the location as well as the position of the car. Thrun then brave prediction this clever car will become the leader, for the emergence of cars without the driver in the street during 2030. “Hari this we walked around 160 km without needing help of humankind. During 2010, I expected this car to go until 1.160 km. Entered 2020 could rise until 1.6 million km,�? Levelly Thrun.

Thrun hoped the robot's car could be made use of by the public's community in 2030. They who were not possible to drive, or chose to not drive, can try him in this year. But Thrun estimated military technology could develop more cepat.Versi combat could have from this clever car been used in 2015. The biggest difficulty in bringing about this dream of being how gave the introductory system like the sense of humankind to the car. Went in the densely populated city environment and the draught with various matters that were not expected, was the difficult matter that must could through by robot.Para the expert was making an effort to plant several senses to the machine beroda four this.

The biggest challenge was the capacity to know the environment that was lived in by you, predicted what will happen, afterwards and reacted when having something that salah,�? Said an one engineer Stanford Mike Montermerlo. The experts from this Stanford considered, junior had the computation power of four times was bigger than the robot's car that dilombakan in 2005. To make this car could think, around one dozen students, the teacher's staff, and the researcher in Stanford together constructive software that operated on the control of the driver as carrying out the perception, the mapping, but also planning. The location for the race that will take place in November later was still not determined.

The big possibility of the committee of DARPA Urban Challenge will announce him in around October. Apart from the robot belonging to Stanford, several other competitors will also compete, including also the robot from Carnegie Mellon University, that during 2005 only occupied the second place. The robot's fastest car that became the champion will have the right brought came home the main gift as big as USD2 million (Rp18,2 billion) was increased also a prestigious poster.
