Why the green eyes? DARPA RACER Heavy Platform, Unmanned Robotic Tank
Why does this new unmanned robotic tank have green eyes?
DARPA is testing the autonomous combat vehicle, called the RACER Heavy Platform, in Texas.
The Pentagon's research and development arm aims to achieve autonomous navigation in complex offroad conditions. The RACER program is now entering Phase 2 for more advanced testing and development.
Built on the Textron M5 platform, the RACER Heavy Platform involves teams from Carnegie Robotics, the University of Washington, NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, and others.
A DARPA spokesperson told Gizmodo the green lights indicate the vehicle is in autonomy mode.
