Proseminar Autonomous Driving

Inhalt / Content

Autonomous cars have recently gained a lot of attention in research and industry. However, the development of software for such vehicles is still a big challange and involves many interacting components such as

• Navigation
• World models
• Situation understanding
• Trajectory planning
• Controllers
• A sensor system / image recognition
• Communication
• Security and safety features
• Middleware integration such as ROS
• Deep Learning
• Integration and Simulation in IDEs
• and many others.

For the implementation of such elaborate systems new software development methodologies are required. In this pro-seminar, we are going to deal with development paradigms such as deep driving, component-and-connector modeling, and other innovative approaches employed in the automotive domain. You are going to learn about scientific methods including

• literature research
• planning and conducting your research
• scientific writing
• presenting your results.

In the kick-off meeting a list of autonomous driving related topics will be presented. Each student chooses a topic and studies it in the course of the semester. The progress is discussed within the group in regular meetings. At the end of the semester, each student submits a seminar paper and presents the results in a short final presentation. There are no pre-requisites except the interest in autonomous driving and computer science.
