About this award
This federal contract award is for the "Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER)" program, which is managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The $9,072,512.00 contract was awarded to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) on September 2, 2021 and has a completion date of November 30, 2023. This contract is not set-aside and is a Definitive Contract of the Cost No Fee pricing type.
The objective of the RACER program is to develop and demonstrate new autonomy technologies that enable unmanned ground vehicles to maneuver in unstructured off-road terrain at high speeds, exceeding human driver capability. CMU will be the prime contractor, with the University of Rochester serving as a major subcontractor. The contract work involves fundamental research focused on regional motion planning, differentiable model learning, and homotopy-aware planning to improve the guidance, navigation, and control of autonomous systems in complex environments.
