In this project, we aim to achieve decentralized multi-vehicle collaborative navigation in an unsignalized intersection scenario. We will utilize an existing (custom) simulation environment to collect data. The data come from the optimal solution of the centralized optimal control problem or the nash equilibrium solution of the potential game...

In order to mitigate risk during deployment, control algorithms for robots on extraterrestrial missions (such as the NASA JPL Artemis rover) must first be evaluated in high-fidelity dynamic simulators. These simulators must accurately model the robot dynamics within a complex, changing environment. The goal of this project is for...

This project involves working with an existing 1/10-scale autonomous vehicle platform to explore and operate in unknown and changing environments, including on sandy beaches or gravel. To optimize the vehicle for its environment, it is of interest to consider platform modularity and in-the-field morphability. The goal is...

This project involves building 10-20 vehicles of the 1/10-scale Berkeley Autonomous Race Car (BARC) platform. The platform is used for demonstrating novel control algorithms and to support the vehicle dynamics course. The goal is to also document the design and construction of the platform. Students will work at the...
