Gathering data for driverless vehicles on the Ardverikie Estate.
Rough tracks on a famous Highland estate are being used to teach robots about the challenges of off-road driving.
The project will help make driverless vehicles of the future more reliable, wherever they go – from busy city streets to rain-lashed Scottish glens.
In a dramatic location, soon to feature in the latest James Bond movie, researchers from the Oxford Institute of Robotics (ORI) have been putting a Range Rover packed with sensors and cameras through its paces.
With expert local four-by-four drivers, they have been amassing data on routes around Ardverikie Estate, south of Newtonmore, which has also starred in TV hits Outlander, The Crown and Monarch of the Glen.

An Oxbotica driverless car
BP has taken a stake in self-driving vehicle start-up Oxbotica as part of a $47m (£34.5m) funding round.
The oil and gas major invested alongside Chinese internet giant Tencent, London-listed IP Group and British fund BGF.
Oxbotica develops software for autonomous vehicles, specialising in industrial vehicles. It was founded by Oxford University’s Paul Newman, part of a team at the Oxford Robotics Institute that developed the first autonomous test car for British roads.
The start-up has experimented with robot taxis. In 2018, it announced it was working with Addison Lee on a robotaxi project for London, although the taxi firm quit the partnership in March last year after it was acquired by new investors.
