Self Driving RC Car Project - Computer Engineering SJSU - The Titans

In the span of 3 months, The Titans, a group of 9 graduate Computer Engineering students at SJSU, designed, built, and wrote the software for an autonomous electric RC car as the term project for the class cmpe243.
It has obstacle avoidance, speed control, GPS and compass guided navigation, and Bluetooth interface with the Titans Android App, which allows the user to enter a destination, download a route to the car and start navigation, as well as monitor the car's location at any given time.
Press 'Go', and the car simply goes there, navigating between buildings and avoiding pedestrians or any obstacles along the way.
We replaced the stock electronics on a Traxxas RC car with our own, along with all necessary PCBs and sensors.

Good work, but i think the car have issue with steering, why dont you use the pid for steering?

[@haroldopsf1]

We didn't use PID for steering because we passed the acceptance test without it. The goal was to enter a destination on a smart phone connected to the car via BT, and the car had to navigate to the destination autonomously while avoiding obstacles. And it did just that without fancy control algorithms of AI, with a very low budget, in a very short time.

[@haroldopsf1]

I meant "...without fancy control algorithms or AI". sorry for the typo

[@phamdacphuoc1995]

but you already had a PI control for speed :D one more PI controller is no big deal but big effect

[@haroldopsf1]

Not true. the reason why the car is twitchy is not because of steering performance. the reason is that the output of the obstacle avoidance engine is very noisy due to the crude sensors used. Closing the loop on steering would have zero effect on this

[@danthemancasey]

Lets all be honest here, the "avoidance engine" noise could have been cleared up with a dam $2 nano and 10 lines of code... far from "fancy control algorithms of AI", to borrow your words.

[@jayenths9976]

Can you give me the complete details of this project plz

[@crane441]

This car will stop if the distance between its current location and the final location is lower than 1 meter, right?

[@ManojKumar-xq2rg]

Good

[@abj9121]

loks like your error correction becomes the main error. not clever at all not understanding error correction

[@nahomabera3821]

HEY GUYS I WANTED TO DO THIS SAME PROJECT OF YOURS. IS THERE A POSSIBLITY WHERE YOU CAN SHARE ME YOUR CODE AND ALSO THE EQUIPMENTS YOU USED.

[@maxwellrux5523]

you do know what RC means right? title is a bit contradictory

[@sreeharis4290]

Could u plz explain the circuit and the coding

[@adityashinde3685]

Please give me the code of project

[@serjkp]

Дайте ему проспаться и не вилять по дороге ;) Похоже, что ПИД настроен плохо.

[@hopeking1122]

I don't know if the car is driving itself or not

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Great stuff.

[@vedantjoshi3977]

you guys are great ..... I didn't find any other self driving car like this on KZbin and thank you for uploading all the information related to this.

[@theadityasahu07]

What is the cost to build this car

[@victoryu2025]

Cool project! By the way, why did you decide to use the chassis Traxxas 1/10 Slash 2WD? I am starting to build a mobile robot of my own and wondering what were the pros and cons of using this particular chassis as your base.

[@everaldojunior5213]

Desculpa Haroldo, fiz a pergunta antes de assistir inteiro! a Central de controle "Master Control" é seu e da mina! certo! parabéns orgulho dos Silvas, rsrsrs se quiser me dar detalhes de onde sera usado, fases previstas, etc ficarei feliz, bjs

[@samathareddy2843]

What are the things to make it??

[@lakshayamahajan]

Hi can I get codes

[@pmmanjunath58889]

There is a problem with this project...

[@ahasibrifat7568]

it runs like a snake!!

[@ProsperPatel]

Great work. You guys really inspired me. :)

[@techzone2467]

it is continuously steering left and right

[@ajayrs7412]

any breaking feature is added to this system......?

[@MalKediler]

no need. when you don't give power to it it stops.

[@RanjithRanjith-sh7gf]

Ranjith

[@ImYourProblem]

5 M3's standing by.

[@austinrastall4878]

Traxxas slash 2wd?

[@iosproz2734]

What if GPS is not used ?

[@GOAFPilotChannel]

Then you could not use GPS point to point navigation, but you could still navigate around a track just fine

[@saitejapln3191]

use geo location which uses wifimodule NODE Mcu

[@adeshsinghchoudhari2783]

Can you give me the cording of arduino

[@MrChipsterBay]

lol

[@Penguinz-fr1mu]

tilted wheels

[@lucasbuhl-nielsen2593]

Did you use any AI / Machine learning?

[@haroldopsf1]

No, there were no cameras. The car avoids obstacles with the aid of ultra sonic sensors and software algorithms to decide where to turn based on readings from all sensors.

[@eduardoanonimo3031]

First world kids wasting money...

[@ZOMBIEEZ]

how can u call this wasting money its a cool project making things like this you yourself possibly cant make ....

[@eduardoanonimo3031]

8Bit Coder Wat da!... Can't possibly can't make? I already did more complex things! This shit its a waste of money on electronics, almost 100$ that can be the monthly incomings of someone on the world. Stupidly big car, stupidly waste of board, stupidly use of modules instead of deploy they own board... Fucking rich kids in their safe backyard playing with expensive toys! Thinking they deploy some shit... My gosh...

[@ZOMBIEEZ]

Eduardo Anonimo its their choice for wanting to do it either as a hobby or an interest and some things like this can earn u a decent amount of money weather u get paid to do stuff like this or whatever.. main thing is if u have such a problem with this go have a go at the guys who build this thing and add another dislike to this video.. Go ahead.

[@ZOMBIEEZ]

Eduardo Anonimo in all honesty if u think these kids r wasting money Say the same about these kids... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmq7pJ-ahs-mla8

[@gamingpahogniva5488]

Eduardo Anonimo 100 dollar a month... Where do you live? Africa😂
