Igor Carron of the DARPA Grand Challenge Pegasus Team writes, "we are committing ourselves to provide the rest of the robotics community some of the data we gather during our trial runs. We expect these trial runs to be more sophisticated as we go along. Probably one of the unusual decision we have made for this vehicle is to not have range sensors such as laser SICK, ultrasound or radar. Our sensor module features an IMU with information on acceleration (3-axis), rotation information (3-axis), heading (3-axis), a GPS and one or several cameras (.jpg or .bmp taken at 10-20 Hz). Because we do not believe the issue is about how to gather data but to make sense of them, these data are provided free of charge and are licensed under the GNU GPL."
