The continued development of autonomous robots has the potential to save lives. At PAVE, we conduct our robotics research with the intent to solve real-world problems, such as reducing the number of motor vehicle accidents. We strive to educate the community about advances in robotics technology, and to inspire students to pursue degrees and career paths related to robotics.
PAVE has participated in some of the world's most challenging and prestigious robotics competitions. Our first autonomous vehicle, Prospect Eleven, was a finalist in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. Our current research vehicle, Prospect Twelve, was a semifinalist in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. PAVE placed third overall out of 47 teams and won rookie of the year at the 2008 Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition. We built an all new entry for the 2009 IGVC and placed first in the competition's navigation challenge.
Student Membership: Membership in PAVE is open to all current undergraduate and graduate students at Princeton University. Find out more about opportunities at PAVE.
