Robotic Research LLC has added Retrotraverse to its AutoDrive-M autonomy kit. The autonomy kit is equipped on the U.S. Army's Palettized Load System (PLS) logistics trucks. Robotic Research demonstrated the Retrotraverse capabilities with three of the U.S. Army's PLS trucks, each towing trailers. "This is a major step forward for our company and has broad application both in autonomy and platooning. The capability solves the potentially life-threatening problem of an autonomous platoon of military vehicles being unable to navigate out of a dangerous situation," said Alberto Lacaze, president of Robotic Research. "This automated platooning capability will ultimately extend the reach of soldiers without putting them in harm's way."
