Wisconsin Autonomous
About
Do you like cars? Do you like working with computers to solve complex, real-world problems? Would you like to gain knowledge to help you succeed in your coursework while having fun? Wisconsin Autonomous is an undergraduate and graduate student organization at UW-Madison dedicated to the research and development of self-driving vehicles.
We are competing in the AutoDrive Challenge II competition, which features complicated urban situations where we are tasked with designing a complete system to autonomously control a production Chevrolet Bolt through these scenarios safely.
We use a variety of sensors including LiDAR, GPS, IMU, and stereo cameras to detect obstacles and markings around the car. A dedicated Intel server processes the data and sends commands to the vehicle's motor controller and steering/braking actuators.
Aside from a great way to meet and work with other students that share your passion, the skills learned at Wisconsin Autonomous relate directly to coursework and help you to develop the all-valuable engineering skill: teamwork and communication.
