Austin Robot Technology is an autonomous SUV robot team that is fine-tuning a vehicle capable of driving itself in preparation for the DARPA Urban Challenge in November 2007.

The only such team in Texas, ART’s elite team of technologists already has a track-proven vehicle that is the subject of the first university course to give students hands-on experience with autonomous vehicle technology. The course is being offered at The University of Texas, which is a team co-sponsor. The team is currently seeking additional sponsors for its DARPA entry.
