RoboRacer (AI Robot)

RoboRacer is a hands-on, project-based course built on the
F1TENTH autonomous racing platform, designed to teach the full
pipeline of autonomous driving โ€” perception, planning,
control, and safety engineering.

This course follows the official UPenn F1TENTH curriculum and
guides students through an end-to-end workflow:
Ubuntu โ†’ ROS2 โ†’ LiDAR perception โ†’ AEB โ†’ PID control โ†’
Follow-the-Gap โ†’ Particle Filter Localization โ†’ Graph-based SLAM โ†’
Pure Pursuit โ†’ Real-world racing.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Course Overview

This course covers the full-stack AI robot system:

  • Linux-based development environment
  • ROS2 nodes, pub/sub, service-based architectures
  • LiDAR perception, TTC (Time-to-Collision), and safety monitors
  • PID-based wall following & real-time control
  • Follow-the-Gap obstacle avoidance
  • Particle Filter localization & Bayesian filtering
  • Graph-based SLAM and mapping
  • Pure Pursuit and racing-line optimization
  • Real-world racing events and performance evaluation

The course culminates in official time-attack races using a real
F1TENTH vehicle.
