NOTABLE PROJECTS

Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition-2017, Michigan, USA

Our team(SeDriCa) from IIT Bombay was the Grand Award Winners and won prize money of $7000. We were placed 1st in the Auto-Nav challenge, 2nd in the Design competition and 2nd in the IOP challenge. You can watch our winning run here. I, along with a team mate named Surya Teja, handled the LiDAR perception, Localization and Interoperabilty subsytems. The whole journey was a great learning experience.

For all the college students out there who would like to learn more on autonomous ground vehicles, this competition is a great starting point. For more info you can visit their website
