Smart Car Design

Challenge

 

The objective of the Smart Car Design Challenge is to design an autonomous car driving algorithm by interfacing the camera and lidar inputs to the buggy car.

For the Regional Finale, in the Gazebo simulator, the participating teams need to complete the race track in the virtual environment using a camera as input and identifying the traffic signs.

Post selection in regionals, the selected teams will move to the Nationals, getting hardware NXP buggy kits to perform all tasks on actual real-world tracks, along with obstacle detection using Lidar.
