How to create an autonomous racecar?

Have you ever wondered what steps are necessary to create a fully autonomous vehicle? Are you interested not only in computer vision but also in mapping the environment or the hardware needed for autonomous movement?

Come and see how we developed an autonomous racing car in the TU Brno Racing team, what it took to debug, simulate, develop, and test it, and what challenges we faced in such development. Even if terms like YOLO, SLAM, or ROS mean nothing to you, we'll go through them together, and after this lecture, you'll have enough knowledge to create an autonomous vehicle.
At least in theory.

Main topics

• Perception - 3D cameras and LiDAR
• Localization and mapping - SLAM
• Path planning
• Vehicle control - Software hardware collaboration
