Objective
UM is running a research program on Connected and Autonomous Driving, funded by FDCT. CAD Test platforms are to be landed on campus soon. This course is an integral educational component of this program. It’s objectives are to help students:
– Gain basic knowledge and principles about CAD
– Gain hands-on practical experience in Carla simulation and Baidu Apollo
Targeted audience
– Seniors and postgraduates with interest in autonomous driving and connected vehicles
– Good standing of FST/IoTSC/ICI postgraduates; Knowledge in Python is not must, but a plus
Time
– 19 October to 30 October, 2020 (10 days)
– 9:30am-12:30pm weekday (2 hours/day lectures, plus 1 hour/day for hands-on labs)
