1st In-Person Interview with Lee Redden
Mick is a Ph.D . researcher in Chris Gerdes’s Lab. He specializes in GPS guided control of autonomous vehicles for drifting (really cool). He just got back from a conference in Detroit on autonomous vehicles.

Mick’s main focus has been with lower level control and controllability of the car (what if you hit a mud or ice patch) and not higher level control (like is that a plant or a weed).
We talked about the accuracy of his GPS systems. He gets 2cm with RTK and 30cm with omni-star. His lab has created its own RTK system for under $4K with IMU that is similar to RTK (uses CMM for correction values). For him GPS is a tool, not what is really interesting.
Overall, Mick’s specialty was different than what we are looking into. He will introduce us to another researcher who does more image processing and CS stuff than low level control.
