Autonomous System Infrastructure

WINLAB Summer Internship 2022

Group Members: Steven Tan, Meghana Achyutananda, Anitej Thamma, Catharine Matthews

Project Objective

Develop a server-client infrastructure to allow for remote control of autonomous robots in the orbit smart city environment. Students will begin by setting up ROS on a robotics platform at Winlab so that they have a system to work on, with the ultimate goal of testing the autonomous driving system on the hardware developed by the smart car team at the end of the summer. In addition to working on the server-client system and measuring the latency of the system, students will research and implement different self-driving algorithms and test them with the ROS platform. Most of this work will be done using python and pytorch (a machine learning library). Students will also need to implement methods for collecting data in order to train their self-driving systems.
