Overview
Convert your previously built mobile robot into a true smart autonomous self-driving vehicle, and learn how to program it to race around a track all by itself without any remote control!
Prerequisite
You must have a previously built Mobile Manipulator Robot from Evodyne Robotics.
During this session each student will learn how to:
- Program their robot to autonomously navigate and pick up a randomly placed payload from a general designated area
- Then race around a previously unknown obstacle course without hitting the sides of the track
- While navigating turns and avoiding "pedestrians"
- Then deliver the payload to an unloading area
Students completing this session are automatically entered into Evodyne's Autonomous Racing Tournament 2021, held on the weekend of Aug 7 and 8.
Social Distancing Policy
We are taking the utmost care to ensure a maximally safe setup. The session is designed for individual learning and not group activity.
- A mask is mandatory at all times with nose and mouth securely covered

- Chromebook will not work
- A USB-C to USB adapter if your laptop contains only the new USB-C ports
