Catalogue data

AbstractAutonomous Mobility on Demand systems based on self-driving cars will make a huge impact in the world. This class describes the basics of modeling, perception, learning, planning, and control for fleets of self-driving cars. We focus particular regard to the problem of integration and co-design of components and behaviors. The course has a heavy experimental component.
ObjectiveThe students will learn how to create all parts of an architecture for a complex multi-robot system performing a nontrivial task (an autonomous taxi service).
ContentPart 1: Single car functionalities (perception-planning-control loop, based on vision data); Part 2: Multiple cars (formal methods for safety, platooning, coordination, fleet-level policy optimization)
Lecture notesCourse notes will be provided for free in an electronic form.
