The meeting discussed cooperation between university teams within the Carolo Cup competition, and THM handed over equipment for testing control algorithms and training members of the Ukrainian part of the team.
As part of student mobility this autumn, students will be sent to THM for close cooperation in preparation, as well as for direct participation in the Carolo Cup 2018 championship, which will be held on February 13-14, 2018 at the University of Braunschweig.
Carolo Cup is an inter-university competition held every year at the Technical University of Braunschweig (Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig), Germany, under the patronage of such concerns as Bosch, Volkswagen, BMW, etc. Students compete in teams and solve actual problems of autonomous traffic.
During the season, the teams build a fully autonomous model of the car in the proportion of 1:10. With the help of developed algorithms of movement and recognition of the environment, the models should perform overtaking of moving and stationary obstacles, recognition of road markings and traffic signs, etc. In addition, the judges evaluate the design and presentation of the model.
