Laboratory: FreiCAR - Practical Autonomous Driving

The class will take place every Tuesday 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM in building 080, room 00.021.

This class provides hands-on experience with autonomous driving using a simulated and a corresponding real-world mobile robotics platform. The platform is based on a 1:8 scale RC car that is equipped with multiple sensors and on-board compute units. In small groups of students, you will implement several building blocks of the typical pipeline of self-driving cars, including object perception, mapping, planning with a given HD map, and control.

To participate, you are required to have some prior knowledge in the field of robotics, e.g., through the class "Introduction to Mobile Robotics" or other projects. To solve the assignments and the final project, you should be familiar with both Python and C++. We will give a brief introduction to ROS, but prior experience will be helpful.

This class cannot be taken remotely.
