PS3 Enters DARPA Urban Challenge

Posted by Zonk on from the gogo-black-box-of-death dept.

billdar writes "Terrasoft Solutions posted an article on their development of a stereo vision object detection system built upon Sony's PS3 for Axion Racing's entry into the DARPA Urban Challenge. The PS3 running Yellow Dog Linux replaced one of the on-board Dell servers to process the realtime stereoscopic sensor data. The whole system was developed and integrated onto the vehicle in ten days. So far, Spirit has been making the competition's highlight reels."

    At least someone found something to do with the surplus PS3's cause lord knows they aren't being used for gaming. First a "supercomputer", now DARPA, next THE WORLD! *Cue Pinky and the Brain theme music
