Automated Driving Robotics Platform Intern

, Iowa

Internship Length: 45 hrs
Office Hours: varies

Essential Functions:

We will build a small robot vehicle that can be driven by joystick or autonomously with on-board programming. The first sensors will be cameras and the sensing problem will be one of machine vision. The initial goal will be to learn to drive autonomously in a marked lane. A future goal will be to add an articulated trailer and back up in a marked lane. In addition to the physical build, we will develop a simulation environment that can be used to train deep learning models. The vehicle will be used initially for outreach and education, but will perhaps find use as an AV research platform.
