Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition

The Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) is an annual robotics competition focused on the research and development of autonomous ground vehicles for college students.

The Competition challenges participants to design, build, and program intelligent robotic vehicles that can navigate real-world outdoor environments using computer vision, machine learning, sensor fusion, and autonomous control.

IGVC was established in 1993 by the U.S. Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center, formerly known as TARDEC, host school Oakland University, and the AUVSI. RoboNation began operation in 2009 with support from AUVSI to provide hands-on educational robotics experiences that offer students a way to solve global challenges.

Under Dr. CJ Chung’s leadership, Computer Science students have been participating in IGVC since 2003.
