Project Description

Design and train a model car to successfully navigate a mock traffic environment: follow lane lines, follow traffic signals and traffic signs, avoid collisions and path planning.

Purpose

In recent years, the resurgence of neural network architectures and its application in reinforcement learning and computer vision has allowed more complicated algorithms to develop. Addressing the need for a better transportation system, we want to explore an autonomous system via creating a self-driving car. This not only allows the students to understand the intricacy of handling data by assuring the generalization of the model, it also furthers their knowledge of hardware optimization. Therefore, the project requires a close collaboration between data science, deep reinforcement learning, control system and hardware design. Such collaboration will be the testament of what the students have achieved while pursuing engineering disciplines.
