F1/10: Autonomous Racing Competition - 1/10th the scale. 10x the fun!
The F1/10 competition focuses on creating a meaningful and challenging design experience for students. The competition involves designing, building, and testing an autonomous 1/10th scale F1 race car (capable of speeds in excess of 40MPH) all while learning about perception, planning, and control for autonomous navigation. In addition to providing lectures and reading material as an online teaching kit, we will host the autonomous racing competition at Embedded Systems Week 2016 and Cyber Physical Systems Week.

K-12 Outreach
My students and I are dedicated to showing, particularly to young students, that computing is an exciting field with an enormous opportunity to impact our lives. We've given numerous demonstrations of our research to K-12 educational institutions such as High School Girls in the Women in Computer Science (WICS) program. We encourage students to pursue studies and careers in STEM fields.
