About

Dr. Shoaib Azam is proposing a graduate course at the Aalto University. The course will introduce students to the field of autonomous driving with an emphasis on perception and planning sub-systems of autonomous vehicles. The very first iteration of the course will focus exclusively on simulation, while the later iterations may witness hardware aspects being integrated into the curriculum. This scaffolded learning framework is designed to lower barrier-to-entry and ensure progressive up-skilling!

This course is powered by AutoDRIVE Ecosystem, where students will work closely with Nigel — a 1:14 scale autonomous vehicle platform. Please see the accompanying video for a glimpse of Nigel in AutoDRIVE Ecosystem.

Resources

AutoDRIVE is envisioned to be an open, comprehensive, flexible and integrated cyber-physical ecosystem for enhancing autonomous driving research and education. It bridges the gap between software simulation and hardware deployment by providing the AutoDRIVE Simulator and AutoDRIVE Testbed, a well-suited duo for real2sim and sim2real transfer targeting vehicles and environments of varying scales and operational design domains. It also offers AutoDRIVE Devkit, a developer's kit for rapid and flexible development of autonomy algorithms using a variety of programming languages and software frameworks. For the Sim Racing League, teams will develop their autonomous racing algorithms using the AutoDRIVE Devkit to interface with the AutoDRIVE Simulator in real-time.
