Autonomy Rodeo
Georgia Tech’s Autonomous Mobile Robotics class hosts an annual autonomy rodeo where autonomous vehicles compete on an obstacle course. Prof. Mick West serves as the master of ceremonies as students race their cars. The entrants are accompanied by posters that explain their vehicle design and algorithms to attendees. The stakes couldn’t be higher — their grades depend on it!
