IARRC 2018

The brand new vehicle build for International Autonomous Robot Racing Competition 2018 in Waterloo, Canada. Selfie won first prize outperforming in both Drag and Circut Races. The vehicle was able to reach the speed of 12 m/s in stable Drag Race. Picture of the car in development (without bodywork) below.

Carolo-Cup 2018

Software in this version enabled successful participation of vehicle in Carolo-Cup 2018 competition.

First integrated version

Computer Vision

• lines detection - complete
• missing line ignoring - complete
• road lane switching on GPIO demand - completed
• parking area recognition - incomplete
• right of law identification in intersections - incomplete

Controller

• speed controller - works (to be reworked)
• direction controller - simple proportional one should be extended to full PID one
• bluetooth communication - handled in RX interruption, working in "answering" mode
• one VLX laser sensor handled via I2C
• UART com for RC equipment working (insignificant missing data frames happens)
• UART com for computer vision unit working properly
• LED lighting working (behavior fixes needed)
• gyroscope working
• parking algorithm - started, incomplete - invoked on BT request gyro-encoder-based action
• obstacles omitting algorithm incomplete
• intersection handling algorithm incomplete
