VIPR-GS Research
Deep Orange 14
The Deep Orange 14 vehicle is the second generation of skid-steered, autonomous research prototypes developed at Clemson University's Deep Orange program. To serve for data collection for research, the DO14 vehicle improves in all avenues, making it a faster and safer tool for research at Clemson University's Virtual Prototyping of Autonomy-Enabled Ground Systems Center (VIPR-GS).
Deep Orange 13
The Deep Orange 13 vehicle is a tracked, skid-steered, autonomous prototype developed in Clemson University's Deep Orange program. The vehicle was designed as a unique platform for high-speed off-road autonomy, facilitating disaster relief, reconnaissance missions, and advanced data collection capabilities in collaboration with the US Army’s DEVCOM Ground Vehicle System Center (GVSC).
Deep Orange 12
The Deep Orange 12 vehicle was developed in partnership with the Indy Autonomous Challenge to produce a driverless high-speed racecar, used by university-based student teams participating in the competition. The vehicle has been engineered with a driverless configuration that allows for head-to-head competition between multiple vehicles.
Through this concept, the DO12 vehicle serves as a highly visible platform to bring industry and students together to explore and develop innovative solutions around the future of autonomous mobility.
