One of the ways Microsoft trains autonomous systems is participating in research focused on solving real-world challenges, like aiding first responders in hazardous scenarios. This week, our collaborators at Carnegie Mellon University and Oregon State University, collectively named Team Explorer, are demonstrating tech breakthroughs in this area as they compete in the Feb 18-27, 2020 DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Urban Challenge in Elma, Washington.

The team is looking for another win after taking first place in round one of the DARPA SubT Challenge, the Tunnel Circuit, in August 2019. The competition continues with the Cave Circuit later in 2020, wrapping up with a final event incorporating all three underground environments in 2021. Eleven multidisciplinary teams from wide-ranging fields are competing while innovating breakthrough technologies in autonomy, perception, networking, and mobility for underground environments.

Autonomous systems are part of a new class of AI powered systems that go beyond basic automation – instead of performing a specific task repeatedly without any variation, autonomous systems are capable of sensing and dynamically adapting to changing environments to accomplish a desired goal. From robots and industrial machines to chemical processing, logistics and HVAC systems, the possibilities are endless. Want to learn more about Microsoft Autonomous systems? https://aka.ms/as
