Project Objective

The goal of this project is to work on development of the WINLAB self driving car simulator. 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

Due to current operating status at Rutgers, in-person lab work with the physical hardware will have to wait until later in the summer.
