Title: Learning to Handle Autonomous Vehicles at the Limit - Experiences from Roborace and the Indy Autonomous Challenge

Abstract: The rising popularity of self-driving cars has led to the creation of an additional research and development branch in recent years: Autonomous racing. Researchers are develop- ing algorithms and hardware for high-performance race vehicles which aim to operate autonomously on the edge of the vehicle’s limits: High speeds, high accelerations, high computation power, low reaction time, and adversarial environments. In addition, with an increasing number of competitions in the field of autonomous racing, researchers have the platforms to test their high-performance algorithms. This talk will give an overview of developing a complete autonomous driving software stack to achieve high-speed and highly precise autonomous driving on the racetrack. Primarily we will focus on the re- search results from the TUM Autonomous Motorsport team that took part in the Indy Autonomous Challenge and the Roborace competition. We will focus on the important components that will make a vehicle race on the racetrack completely autonomously.
