Navlab
CMU Navigation Laboratory

The Carnegie Mellon University Navigation Laboratory group builds computer-controlled vehicles for automated and assisted driving. Since 1984, we have built a series of robot cars, vans, SUVs, and buses. More recent research expands to smart infrastructure, focusing on machine vision application and affordable sensors.

The CMU Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research website is an up-to-date source of information on CMU’s self-driving car research.

The video below features some highlights from 1984 through 2007, but leaves out many of the Navlab platforms.
