Self-Driving Vehicle

The goal of this project is to build a fully-functional self-driving car. The project includes development of ~1/14 scale vehicles for use as a remote self-driving car testing platform, as well as a virtual simulation environment which will model both the physical vehicles and the testbed environment. Robot Operating System (ROS) will be used for both halves of the project, with the simulation running in Gazebo.

​

There are several objectives for this project:

​​

• Design and implementation of additional sensors for existing vehicles to allow for remote experimentation

​

• Incorporation of ROS control into existing car software

​

• Use of AI/machine learning algorithms for self-driving behavior

​

• Building a physical model at WINLAB and testing its autonomy in a real environment
