I built my own self-driving RC Car and raced it against other RC cars. It's definitely FASTER than anything you've seen in my previous video. Get ready for crazy overtaking and defending.
If you haven't seen the first two videos featuring this self-driving RC Car, you can check them out here:

ABOUT ME
I'm Steven, a university student currently studying Software Engineering at the University of Waterloo. I like to build cool things with code. I started this RU-vid channel to share my love for learning and engineering with the world. I do everything ranging from electronics, CAD, control theory, programming, 3D printing, physics, and design.
My ultimate goal is to be able to make anything that I want. I'm working towards this by building increasingly difficult engineering projects that push the limits of my knowledge. Consider subscribing if you would like to follow my journey and learn alongside me as a student of the universe!

Hey everyone, I'm excited to finally share this video with you all! I actually finished filming this video back in May, but the editing ended up taking sooo long (like ~150 hours spread over 2 months). I had so much footage to go through, but I hope the end result made it all worth it. If you want to build your own self-driving RC, you can check out some of the links I put in the video description. Until next time 👀

Nice video, you did great! I have an idea concerning the localization issue. My idea might sound crazy at first, but I think it will work on a race track. What if you don't have a map? Just try to go as straight as possible. You would need a Gyro so you can detect unwanted spins. If the wall is far away, go fast; if it is near, slow down. That won't result in the fastest route, but I think it will work. The biggest downside is that it won't work in a normal environment like an office. I have programmed and competed at robotic competitions myself, so I really like seeing other people's ways to approach a problem. Keep going!

I just noticed something about 5:56 minutes in. My past life I was a driving instructor and the number one thing new students do, is not look far enough ahead. They typically end up looking not far off the front of the vehicle, within 2-3 car lengths. That's really close and dangerous because it doesn't provide enough time to process what is occurring and to react. So we reinforce how to look far ahead - very far and to use pereferal vision to be aware of everything in between. Your car is driving like a new student - it is only aware within that white box, so it's looking directly in front of the vehicle. It's possibly a sensor limitation, but is there a way to feed your car long range information? Keep what you have as that is likely higher resiltiuon data, but can you augment long-range data as well so it can begin processing what is approaching, sooner?

Don't use RRT, use ERRT[1,2] which is intended for exactly these problems; I published it 21 years ago and it has been used by RoboCup (robot soccer) teams ever since. Section 4.3 in [2] has a good description, including plan-head simplification (pretty much required for any sampling planner) which is a generalization of what you were doing at 6:55, see [2] page 82 top paragraph. Hit me up if you have questions. FWIW, [2] Chaper 5 solves the problem you don't know you have yet, and has also been used in RoboCup for years by at least 3 teams.

Dont be discouraged Steven, you did your best effort and you were all alone in it. The track was pretty janky but one may argue that the algs should be smart enough to update the map on the fly. I think what could have made a difference is to practice on a map similar to the competition map since it was much narrower and might require some tuning to get working right, as well as corner cases like reversing once you have realized you are stuck. The tire grip also played a huge part and I think sticky tires would have helped. WD-40 degrades tire rubber to make it pretty sticky. But regardless, great effort and great content, thank you for sharing.

I'm wondering if the car could localise off of the ceiling (what with it being a static feature), but use the realtime LIDAR input from track walls/other cars to deal with collision avoidance - like how a human following a GPS is technically route finding using triangulation with satellites, but is avoiding crashing (mostly) by looking out of the windows.
@IlariVallivaara
@IlariVallivaara Год назад
You probably don't even have to update the map on the fly but just increase the measurement (and motion) model uncertainties in your positioning algorithm so that it trusts the map less and is able to model those inconsistencies. Out-of-the-box lidar-based stuff is most likely tuned to trust the map way too much. To be honest, that track looks so simple that it could be driven around with a local planner only (no global map). Of course you would lose your race lines and probably lose track with some catastrophic odometric failure, such as spinning, but with low enough speed the local planner should be able complete laps. In any case, super interesting video. Failures and difficulties make it interesting. Keep up the good work.
@conorstewart2214
@conorstewart2214 Год назад
If this was done professionally then yes you would expect the cars to be able to deal with track variations but this presumably isn’t the first time they have done this competition, so they know what to expect in terms of car capabilities and they should make the track in such a way to maximise competitiveness. It’s not much of a competition when only one or two teams are able to reliably go around the track. In pretty much any other kind of racing, the track will not change, so at this stage, this competition shouldn’t be any different. Changing to a rigid track would make it more competitive and it would change the winning criteria from whose algorithm can deal with changes in a janky track, to whose algorithm can go around the track the fastest. The best algorithms would still have the speed advantage.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching and getting to be part of this journey! And although you did not win you still gained a ton of experience, knowledge and "rivals". Maybe a shorter wheelbase would have helped with the car's turn radius, and if their barriers were semi-permanent the localization could potentially have worked more reliable, but hindsight is always 20/20. Again watching your journey has been fun and today's video has not been disappointing xD
@dekethegeek
@dekethegeek Год назад
The barriers / track limits changing lap to lap seems a fairly steep challenge on its own. Track limits are permanent in real life... imagine if every time a race car left the track the officials had to re-paint the white track limits line... during the race. Heckuva job facing some very difficult challenges! ETA: My approach as an official would have been to at least put painter's tape on either side of the barrier to give a solid reference point when resetting. Another approach would be to anchor the tubing every "X" inches. I'd suggest painter"s tape under the barriers (to protect the surface), then glue the barriers to the tape. FWIW, painter's tape has a pretty good shear adhesion strength, and is often used in combination with CA glue to anchor pieces when woodworking

After teaching FTC robotics for 5 years and judging FTC Championships for 5 years, I'm very impressed with this effort by 1 guy without mechanical engineering skills to go with his coding and algorithm development. The challenge you couldn't overcome was likely exacerbated by inconsistent traction, which caused difficulty for the steering algorithm. As the car drifted wildly on the slippery floors, it made it harder for localization and obstacle avoidance. If you instead cleaned your tires after every run, and used tires with low lateral slip, the processing load is reduced because there's much less fishtailing. While it's possible to overcome this with adequate AI training and optimization of response time, servo rates, and optimizing weight distribution, with one person it's very hard to optimize given the time and budget. Great effort!

It looks like it was better in the end since I'm guessing it was constantly learning every single run it did. Looking forward to seeing more from you! Keep it up!

You did great ... learning and application of the learning are the greatest prize.

Hey, very cool video! Well edited. I wrote that particle filter, fun to see it's still getting some mileage years later :) Unfortunate to see the map changing on you, particle filters definitely don't like that. I hope range_libc didn't put up too much of a fight

wow insane!! good job making it GPU accelerated, just had to change a few flags to compile it on the newer jetson architectures :))

that human vs robot race at the end made the video, that was genuinely really exciting and tense, the sheer grip confidence the robot car had was intimidating, but sometimes drifting really is faster, if you don't slide out XD

Great F1 champion code. You just need to add a speaker and have it say “IS HE BLIND MATE???” Whenever you crash into someone

Between the lack of traction, the tight track, the moving walls, and their beam-dump-like qualities, I'm surprised anyone did well, tbh. The fact that you could make laps at all was really good.

Some of the best inventors come from Canada it is the seasons we get. Always changing, you need to get a small mill and lathe great for prototyping and a 3d printer of course. Good job!

it is not a failure if you had fun trying, learned stuff, and made new friends. It sounds like you are not giving up on your car, tires are everything in a race. good work keep it up.

to improve localization you could add 2 things: accelerometric vector persistence and match based rejection for your ladar telemetry. If you can confirm with ladar a position with certainty > 80% then make that your position in the map. from then on use the accelerometer to move your simulated position in the map whilst scanning with the ladar. any time you get a 80% solution with you ladar make that your new position. This is basically how I made networked cars drive smooth back when I made unity games by having them constantly simulated clientside where I updated the velocities of the rigidbodies as well as static positions. Godspeed Steven! smashed that sub harder than your racer smashed that trashcan
