The Indy Autonomous Challenge
This two-year, $1.5 million competition was the first head-to-head, high-speed autonomous race, involving 500 students from around the world. RTI is proud to have provided each team with Connext, our commercial-leading open software framework to design, simulate and run their cars. Connext provides an efficient path from prototyping to production with intelligent connectivity and extreme scalability across platforms (including ROS2 and AUTOSAR). And with car speeds topping 200 MPH, students and their advisors were relieved to know that Connext brings peak performance that is certifiable to the highest ISO-26262 standards for safety.

Carnegie Mellon University
DARPA SubT Challenge
Carnegie Mellon University is taking part in the DARPA Subterranean Challenge, which seeks novel approaches to rapidly map, navigate, and search underground environments during time-sensitive combat operations or disaster response scenarios. The team is using RTI Connext as the connectivity framework to make coordinated, time-critical decisions in uncertain underground environments. This work will be applicable for future applications of situational awareness, search and rescue, remote scouting and forensics/data analysis. Learn more ⇢
Durham University
Centre for Advanced Instrumentation
A new generation of very large telescopes are ushering in important scientific discoveries through clear views into outer space. These massive instruments require adaptive optics technology to correct for the effects of Earth's atmosphere on observations. Distortions must be detected and corrected rapidly, with mirror adjustment of upwards of thousands of times per second. One of the world's foremost research institution uses RTI Connext in the Lab and in real-time information flow, reliably and at scale.
University of Brighton
The University of Brighton’s Vetronics Research Group (VRG) uses RTI Connext to research, develop and deploy new concepts in the UK’s current and future military land platform capabilities. Connext serves as the core communications backbone, providing real-time communication and interoperability between the complex subsystems in the military land platforms. The full paper is available directly from the IEEE library.
