Robotics / Connected Autonomous Vehicles

Connected Autonomous Vehicle Option

What is an autonomous and connected vehicle (ACV)?

• Autonomous: vehicle capable of performing maneuvers and driving-related tasks without driver intervention.

• Connected: vehicle capable of communicating with its occupants and with external elements

Why Connected Autonomous Vehicles?

• Free the driver from the task of driving
• Providing transportation for all
• Improving safety, reducing accidents
• Reduce journey times, improve traffic flow
• Reducing environmental impact and energy consumption

Connected Autonomous Vehicle Option

Contribute to the development of a functional architecture for autonomous vehicles. Associated projects will target one or more of the following scientific objectives:

• Designing a new architectural function
• Designing alternative methods for an existing function
• Improve or complete one or more methods of an existing function
• Combine a set of functions into modules and test them
• Assemble and test a set of layered modules
• Assemble the layers to form the complete functional architecture and test it

The projects have the following pedagogical objectives:

• Working in a team
• Organize and allocate individual and group tasks
• Argue the choices made to meet scientific objectives
• Communicate progress and results 
• Evaluating the work of peers
