Where to start

Donkey car platform

Car platform assembling

Overview

Notes for robocar racing challenge.

PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Software platform

• Donkey car as a fast start software to control your car.
• ROS middleware for fast prototyping.

Hardware

Racing platforms

• Donkey car

The level-up after Donkey:

• Erle-Rover. Linux-based platform, uses ROS and APM:Rover autopilot
• RACECAR/J

Stereo cameras

• ZED. Gives the depth starting from several meters.
• Intel realsense

Neural computing

Jetson TX2 with Auvidea J120 development board - it will be more compact.

Raspberry PI can be easily extended with:

• Movidus Stick
• Vision Bonnet (from Google Vision Kit)

Additional sensors

• Ultrasonic - very cheap.
• Lidar. Here is the comparison of two not very expensive ones.
• Kinect

Functional safety

Functional safety flow

Open source autonomous driving

• Open Autonomous Safety
• OpenADx. Currently there are two testbed candidates: simulation and Massive data ingest and management. Currently work in on progress on first testbed.
