Objective

Based on today’s autonomous cars and driver-assistance systems, this advanced seminar aims to replicate the functionality of an advanced parking assistant.

The goal is for a vehicle (mobile robot) to follow the route of a predetermined course, detect, measure, and evaluate suitable parking spaces, and perform parking maneuvers autonomously. The operator should be able to use a tablet computer as an input device to control the vehicle’s various operating modes and retrieve information collected by the robot.

Teams of five students will work on the task. Each student must specialize in a specific area of responsibility. Supervision will be provided jointly by the four AMR chairs, with each area of responsibility primarily supervised by one chair.
