Carnegie Mellon University just made another step in autonomous vehicle technology.This past October, CMU partnered with Sikorsky Aircraft to demonstrate how autonomous vehicles can work together. In a demonstration mission, CMU’s Land Tamer, an unmanned ground vehicle, worked in tandem with a UH-60MU Black Hawk helicopter equipped with Sikorsky’s autonomous MATRIX technology. The mission required the unmanned Black Hawk helicopter to pick up the Land Tamer, fly a 12-mile route and deliver the Land Tamer to a new location. This mission was a pioneering step in cooperative autonomous vehicle missions.
