151-0323-00L | Autonomous Mobility on Demand: From Car to Fleet Number of participants limited to 20. | 4 credits | 4G | E. Frazzoli, A. Censi | |
Abstract | Autonomous Mobility on Demand systems based on self-driving cars will make a huge impact in the world. This class describes the basics of modeling, perception, learning, planning, and control for fleets of self-driving cars. We focus particular regard to the problem of integration and co-design of components and behaviors. The course has a heavy experimental component. | ||||
Objective | The students will learn how to create all parts of an architecture for a complex multi-robot system performing a nontrivial task (an autonomous taxi service). | ||||
Content | Part 1: Single car functionalities (perception-planning-control loop, based on vision data); Part 2: Multiple cars (formal methods for safety, platooning, coordination, fleet-level policy optimization) | ||||
Lecture notes | Course notes will be provided for free in an electronic form. | ||||
Literature | Course notes will be provided for free in an electronic form. These are some books that can be used to provide background information or consulted as references: (1) Siegwart, Nourbakhsh, Scaramuzza - Introduction to autonomous mobile robots; (2) Norvig, Russell - Artificial Intelligent, a modern approach.
