[AI-announce] New Course on Autonomous Vehicles and Artificial Intelligence

[Sven Peldszus]

**

*Dear students,*

*

The chair of software engineering is pleased to offer a new course on 
autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence in the upcoming summer 
term in cooperation with the RUB motorsport team. The course will be 
offered for Master students and for advanced Bachelor students in the 
programs: Informatik, Angewandte Informatik, ITS, and ETiT.


Autonomous driving is the future of individual mobility and all major 
manufacturers are working on fully autonomous vehicles. While there are 
robust and good solutions for the individual problems in autonomous 
driving, the main challenge lies in their integration. Altogether, an 
autonomous vehicle’s software is the biggest problem. Therefore, the key 
in self-driving vehicles is about getting the software right. In this 
course, we will investigate the different aspects of self-driving 
vehicles as well as the importance and application of artificial 
intelligence in this domain from a theoretical but especially from a 
practical perspective. All taught concepts will be practically applied 
to real robots by implementing the concepts for ROS2, a state-of-the-art 
operating system for robots. The course will primarily focus on the 
following topics (as this is the first edition of this course, we might 
dynamically adapt the topics of the course according to your practical 
needs):


  * Requirements on autonomous vehicles

  * Architecture of autonomous vehicles

  * Operation systems and frameworks for robotic systems

  * Specification and Implementation of autonomous vehicles based on ROS2

  * Artificial intelligence for autonomous vehicles

  * Simulation of autonomous vehicles

  * Localization & perception

  * Mission planning

  * Quality assurance for autonomous vehicles


In the course’s lecture, we provide the required theoretical background 
and practically apply the course’s content in exercises by building a 
self-driving robot. You will be given the opportunity to program one of 
four state-of-the-art TurtleBot3 together with your group.

Courses on this topic with a focus on the software/systems engineering 
aspects are still rare worldwide; we are planning to develop the course 
further in the coming years. However, as this is the first education of 
this course, we can only offer a very limited number of participants. If 
you are interested in the course, please apply for participation until 
March 27, using the following form:

We will use the entered information only for assigning participants and 
will delete all entered information after the assignments are done.


Best regards,


Thorsten Berger and Sven Peldszus
