Where research meets real-world application
The Autonomous Vehicle Laboratory (AVL) at Cal Poly Pomona is dedicated to advancing autonomous vehicle technology through cutting-edge research and hands-on education. As both a research lab and student organization, we bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application.
We envision a future where autonomous vehicles are safe, accessible, and integrated into everyday life. Our work contributes to this vision by developing novel perception systems, path planning algorithms, and digital twin technologies that push the boundaries of what's possible.
True to Cal Poly Pomona's "Learn by Doing" philosophy, every member gets hands-on experience with real autonomous vehicle hardware including Velodyne LiDAR, stereo cameras, RTK-GPS, and more. We believe the best way to learn is to build.
