It gained a somewhat mixed reputation among CMU graduate students who were exposed to it: tough and demanding, but helpful. I hear that Karen has kept it at the high level of ambitiousness while improving and expanding its scope, after she moved on after graduating with the Auton Lab PhD to become faculty at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, the toolkit was selected as a finalist in a tough DARPA competition, out of 250 entries.
