4. Serpentine: 
 
Autonomous city vehicle in 3D simulation , through Yverdon-les-Bains (".fli (.zip)", 14 Mb) (tested with Aaplay) 
 
In real in a private company, including our control system. 
 
 
Early stages included "BigFoot", a 100kg payload, remotely controlled platform (wireless), later on autonomously following another Serpentine vehicle.
