Congress Workshops

Workshop 1: Robotics for AV Systems Bootcamp

Robotics for AV Systems Bootcamp which is developed by SAE International and Clemson University with industry guidance from experts. In this workshop, participants will learn how they can enter the field of mobility robotics through an overview of this rigorous, twelve-week, experience. If they take the course, students will gain insights into how engineers build autonomous systems by learning to program a mobile robot through hands-on approaches using ROS, Gazebo, and Python. (Space permitting, we will demonstrate this.) Following an introduction to Mechatronics and Kinematics, participants will learn how the course guides students through software engineering principles such as SLAM; Localization; Navigation/Path Planning; Perception: LiDAR, Cameras & Vision and Visual Intelligence; and Machine Learning.
