Overall Research Project Description This project aims to create a modular platform for autonomous vehicle (self-driving car) research and competitions by incorporating sensors such as LIDARs, cameras, IMUs, etc. with actuators for commanding vehicles. This project incorporates various robotics subsystems, for example perception, localization, controls and artificial intelligence. The algorithms developed will be tested in various environments such as simulation and on real self driving cars of different scales and sizes in urban road conditions and race tracks.

The objectives of this project are:
* Build self-driving robots
* Implement algorithms to drive the robots autonomously
* Test the algorithms in various scenarios

Expected outcomes:
The result of this project will be used for autonomous driving (and racing) research and publications.

Research Tasks Literature review, data collection, model calibration, simulation setup, experimental setup

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Programming knowledge (in Python or C++) required.

Mentoring Philosophy My primary goal as a mentor is to create a pleasant atmosphere for learning and communication. I have learned from experience that the more mentees are excited about the project and are open to communication, the more the mentee can understand.

I would also like to foster an environment where failure is redefined as a stepping stone toward success and not an obstruction of progress. With this in mind, I would like my mentees to respond to failure with excitement so we can collectively fail better, eventually achieving success. Therefore, mentees should feel free to think outside the box, seek alternative solutions, and even try to find better solutions than I can offer so that their experience will be unique to their personalities by the end.
