Design Sophisticated Autonomous Vehicles

"The intuitive graphical interface of LabVIEW and ready-to-go drivers for sensors such as LIDAR made it easy for a team of undergraduate mechanical engineering students to quickly and efficiently create custom embedded software."

- Patrick Currier - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Using LabVIEW Robotics with NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware, you can easily go from idea to implementation because you can use the LabVIEW development environment for design, prototyping, and deployment. Learn how to develop real-time and FPGA-based robotic and autonomous control systems more rapidly than with traditional tools. LabVIEW Robotics takes care of the system details, from sensor drivers to embedded implementation, so you can focus on your IP and innovations.
