We are inspired by the role that we believe autonomous systems have in addressing strategic operational and logistical real-world challenges. Student team members collaborate with our professor advisors to approach autonomous systems, engagingly, outside the classroom. By focusing on driverless racing, students can validate algorithms, test hardware, problem shoot obstacles, and gain experience in both building and managing a complex project. We hope to attract more talent in this field by stimulating curiosity across the university and ultimately positively contributing to the Pittsburgh community.
