- The ION Autonomous Snowplow Competition in St Paul, Minnesota is a yearly gathering of top engineers who face-off to see whose unmanned snowplowing robots can best clear the most snow, without any human intervention.

"5-4-3-2-1 Let's plow" is my most effective pick up line!
I put a shovel on my roomba, and threw it outside!!! worked great considering I live in Florida now and there wasn't any snow.
''What is my purpose?''
shoveling snow.
''aw....''
Yeah welcome to the show buddy
"Oh my god!"
GREEN PANDA Rick and morty
My hats off and respect to all the participants in that competition. I hope that we can see something like this where I live :)
Do you plan on releasing more footage of the full runs? I'd like to see how these robots conducted themselves.
This will be a grade 1 project in 50 years time, primitive technology is historical.
The snow melted, and then there was Robot Wars !!
We got 3ft of snow in 24hours this year just 15 mins north of the American boarder... I doubt these things could keep up or handle the white out conditions or the snow plow covering it in...
CRAZY ROBOTS ON THE SNOW!
We need this for neighborhoods since the plowers only show up when the snow is higher than like 4 inches
1:32 was anyone reminded of the DOOM door opening sounds?
awasome videos motherboard
Yeah you guys finaly did something in my home state
I could see a Hololens on one of these things to do wonders... The tracking is amazeballs. God damm, now i want to do this project.
And they make doom door sounds when turning, interesting.
where can I get legit information about this. I am doing a research about the autonomous snow removal
drone companion to map out driveway would be nice
Talk is cheap. Show me the code.
Then you just relearn the neural network using the code they used..?
enhhh sounds too good to be true. i think true writing and open source code will probably be around, just imo.
NegiMudkip open source is the way to go
I am on the team with the antlers on the front of the bot we used a compact rio running labview this year along with a roboteq motor controller. If anyone has and questions go ahead and ask me and ill do my best to answer.

This is going to be really useful on Mars.
All these great minds and no one thought to use caterpillar tracks?
NECK-BEARD HAS SPOKEN!
just make one big enough to do it in one sweep
mr.plow......thats my name....
I don't like the future. It's going to put enterprising kids out of winter business
holy fuck I love robotics
wow
did someone already make the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 LET'S PLOW sex joke?
nice
there is just something about watching overweight People building complex robots to get out of a little exercise
Go blue!
Yeah go Dunwoody my dad went there
this all means 0 cause its pre placed snow....
presented by SICK ?
Lessons in how to not do jack
Just more jibe getting replaced by robots
My father taught me to plow and his father before him taught him to plow and his father before use to plow fields. we are a plowing family, we like to plow together.
our god dam plowing jobs.
To get rid of 3ft of snow in 24 hours I had to stack it 6ft high piles on either side of my driveway... I don't see these little things doing anything like that.
Nobody that lives in a city has to shovel their driveway for a freakin hour! Lazy
autonomous* title error
TheAfroNoah where?
they saw my comment and fixed it
Oh
of course it's Canada
svampebob007 Nope just my home state Minnesota
Why is everyone mad about them taking jobs?? So you would rather be the one working in mcdonalds all day 5 days a week? Or folding clothes or driving trucks all day?? You are crazy, i would rather have machines to do all the boring stuff!
Joe L those jobs may not be fun but they employ hundreds of millions around the world. What's especially concerning is that automation won't create more jobs than it will cost.
Hmm.. Maybe robots can take care of them.
At who's expense?
fucking capitalism my guy
potatoes!
thetwinkie69 no not potatoes snow bots
These kinds of projects are what most college kids are doing, not protesting or causing anarchy.
Ridhuan Rizal Yes, people need to stop protesting that rapist orangutan!
David i bet you drink liquids.
They should move all of the social science courses off mainstream campuses to Art collages.
Call them Social art collages.
It will certainly help separate the inspiring young minds from the leftist brain cancer.

broooo no one's buying a fucking $1000.00 bot to shovel a driveway... 😂
he seems unaware that prototyping is the first and most expensive step. yet he's on a dirt bike, the first of which would have costs many times more in todays currency back when they were first created.
They cost way more than that. Two drive motors will cost $1000. Those LIDAR sensors cost $5000 alone.
Evan Huff: But a city government will, and that's a heck of a lot cheaper than paying humans.
snow blowers could cost more. also atvs have a snow plow attachment which could cost more. #poorpeople
most decent snowblowers cost around that price....wouldn't you want the one that doesn't require you doing the work?
real champs don't brag
They already can make autonomous automobiles without having any type of reflector or sensor alongside the road why not just hook up snow plow to the front of a truck put the autonomous system in it add some upgrades for the snow plow and call it a day these things are garbage what if the snow is 3 ft tall
Kids think their doing research for fun
But in 100 years there won't be any jobs left
***** no it will take longer until humans are all on the streets.
Some countries aren't even developed yet lol
Kyle Pasta I think you're wrong about that. There's going to be jobs for engineers far into the future, that goes for software and hardware engineers.
2 ways to deal with that: One is for governments to give out allowences, like $20,000 a year just for being a citizen (paid for with taxes coming from the companies that use the robots to make everything one needs). If the companies refuse, they will all go bust because poor starving homeless people and robots don't buy things) If people want more money than that they can do other work. Some traditional jobs will be left, and I'm sure many new jobs will crop up. I'm guessing lots of them will be focused on entertaining people (think TH-camrs and people like me who self publish stories, and other jobs that will spring up to replace the old). So the future is not as bleak as you think it is.
The AMV TOP 50
The future is gaaaaaaaay
Self driving cars? Robots to take all our jobs?
We should be focused on better things
StraightUpFerret until the robots are capable of coding other, better robots because they run algorithms to find glitches and correct them. Humans will be useless
