Autonomy Science and Systems Project Report

Abstract

With the increase in automation and the advancement of robotic technologies, comes an increasing push to incorporate automation into the development of self-driving vehicles. Many companies have developed initiatives devoting resources to increasing the application of automation sciences to automotive technologies. The Autonomy Sciences and Systems course was offered on the Spring of 2017. This course engaged students into a survey of state-of-the art robotics algorithms found in research while introducing tools used to develop these technologies. The robotic operating system (ROS) was the main programming environment used to perform many of the course activities as well as the final project. This is a report documenting Team A's implementation of the final project with associated instructions and tutorials.
