Autoware

  • Limitations

– Require detailed 3D map – Require accurate localization (~cm) in the map – Heavily rely on expensive Lidar sensor

  • Cameras are supplementary

– Not the way human drives

Pixels to Actions

  • DNN based supervised learning
  • Imitating human driving behaviors
slide-11
SLIDE 11

How It Works?

  • Record data  train w/ data  apply in real world
  • Data = camera input, steering output

Project: Self-driving RC Car

  • Your tasks

– Build a car

  • We provide parts (can buy additional parts as needed)

– Implement vision based steering

  • We can provide baseline code

– Implement Lidar based emergency braking – Implement vision based traffic signal detection and stop/go – Demo and final report

DeepPicar Suite

  • Benchmark real-time apps for self-driving cars (on-going)

– Vision based steering control (DNN, 250K weights) – Voice recognition (DNN, 750K weights) – Traffic sign recognition (DNN, 1.4K weights) – Obstacle detection & emergency braking (Lidar)

  • General characteristics

– Data and compute intensive – Require efficient & performant computing platform

Embedded Platforms

  • HiFive1 (rev b) board

– RISC-V micro-controller – Limited resources/performance – “Bare-metal” programming in C

  • Directly access hardware w/o OS
  • Raspberry Pi 4

– Powerful quad-core ARM CPU – Run fully featured OS (Linux) – Standard PC-like programming environment

Project Ideas

  • Reduce the size of the neural network so that

it can run on a less powerful computer (e.g., Raspberry pi zero, or hifive 1)
