Thematic Introduction
The JetRacer:_ROS_AI_Kit can be programmed in different ways. The mechatronic student learn to develop C-code, m-code oder model based development with simulink. The task is to develop a "easy to use" framework to get quick results. After choosing the toolchain based on a morphological box an attachment for the reference prism (Referenzmessung_mit_der_Topcon_Robotic_Total_Station) has to be build. By this the ground-truth-data (vehicle pose) can be recorded for further analyzing. The main task is to develop a program that acquires an image frame, transforms it into bird-eye-view to measure the lane's curvature. Based on the lane curvature and actual driving status the car should steer into the right lane. Optional a gyroscope can measure the yaw-rate of the JetRacer.
The goal is to drive in the right lane as fast as possible.
Optional an obstacle detection an avoidance by LiDAR can be added. Future students can compare an AI lanekeeping to this classic image processing approach.
The Bachelor Thesis was carried out in the Autonomous Systems Laboratory at Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt. The Bachelor Thesis was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schneider and Prof. Marc Ebmeyer. The Laboratory is designed for Mechatronic and Electronic Engineering Students to realize there Academic Projects.
