The ASALT (A Self-navigating All Terrain) Vehicle project developed an autonomous ground-based vehicle that is capable of traversing a route designated by a set of waypoints. The waypoints are latitude and longitude coordinates that identify a point on the Earth. The vehicle will be used by the inter-Networking Research Group to carry a network node that is used during network protocol testing. The ASALT vehicle will provide researchers with a new tool to aid them as they attempt to test and understand the technology behind fault tolerant network protocols.
