Abstract :
This paper presents an approach that achieves robust high-speed navigation of prescribed routes. We present the mechatronic and software considerations that resulted in two robots that have completed over 4000 km of autonomous navigation of trails and off-road terrain at an average speed of approximately 30 km/h, with sustained top speeds of 55 km/h
