DARPA SubT Challenge

Together with the CVUT's Center of Robotics and Autonomous Systems, we successfully participated in four rounds of the Subterranean Challenge organised by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency.

The Subterranean (SubT) Challenge was a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program to develop innovative technologies that can augment underground operations. The SubT Challenge program explored new approaches to rapidly map, navigate, search, and exploit complex underground environments such as human-made tunnel systems, urban underground, and natural cave networks. These difficult settings present challenges for military and civilian first responders; hazards vary drastically across terrain that can change over time, making it too risky for personnel to enter.
