A novel probabilistic online learning framework for autonomous off-road robot navigation is proposed. The system is purely vision-based and is particularly designed for predicting traversability in unknown or rapidly changing environments. It uses self-supervised learning to quickly adapt to novel terrains after processing a small number of frames, and it can recognize terrain elements such as paths, man-made structures, and natural obstacles at ranges up to 30 meters. The system is developed
