Overview
Autonomy, in the context of autonomous vehicles, is the ability of a vehicle to operate without the intervention of a human operator. Such vehicles constitute a very broad spectrum of shapes and sizes including, for instance, vacuum cleaning robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) operating on factory floors and warehouses, and robot taxis etc.
The objective of the course is to give students knowledge in the area of autonomous vehicles, by participating in an autonomous-vehicles project. This can either be an applied or a research project in the field of autonomous vehicles.
The course is a two-part course i.e. 3+3 ECTS, in two semesters.
Information about project types
The student is (in small teams, or independently) expected to work on the applied/research project agreed-upon with supervisor.
The projects, this semester, are broadly of two types:
1. The students can take up a research or applied project in different sub-areas of autonomous driving, such as localization, behaviour modeling and prediction, road-user interaction, and mapping etc.
2. Projects with the 1:10 scale DonkeyCar platform.
Deliverables
The assessment is project-dependent. More details will be provided by the project supervisors in the beginning of the semester.
