Stanford Cart Slider Modification by Hans Moravec
During the late 1970s, Hans Moravec at Stanford University extended the Stanford Cart, originally built by James L. Adams in the 1960s, with a sliding camera mount, enabling the robot to navigate autonomously across a chair-filled room in 1979 using stereo vision, a milestone in autonomous vehicle research.
