We just finished an experiment this week showcasing our new Multi-Experience Localization (MEL) for use in Visual Teach and Repeat (VT&R). Using only cameras, we taught a route in bright sunlight and demonstrated that we could continue to drive exactly in our tracks all night long (with the use of headlights). This works because we are localizing against many previous experiences all the time and we can therefore track the visual appearance change. The image shows the Grizzly driving in its tracks well after sunset. We're also using a drone to make videos hence the follower.
