Self-Driving Car (3 Workshops): Build end to end autonomous car with AI and IoT

#Announcement(Startup) #Event #Workshop [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
#Organizer : IoT NCR #City : NCR #StartDateTime : 8 June 2019 10:00:00 #EndDateTime : 8 June 2019 17:00:00

IoT-NCR in partnership with, ThingiFy, BitGrit and Ansal University announces series of THREE workshops covering building a self-driving car. We will cover step by step where the audience would learn the object detection via camera using video analytics, proximity sensors/tech to identify obstacles and last one connecting all the dots and assembling all the components to integrate it with cloud and edge and the software platform called ThingiFy.

Note: All hardware will be provided, participant only bring laptop and required software (which will be sent with confirmation emails)

Agenda
Workshop 1 (June 8) - Building the base:
1. Assemble the car chassis
2. Control the car using motor driver
3. Add ultrasonic sensor for object detection
4. Compute object distance from the moving car and take decisions
5. Interface Pi Camera with Raspberry Pi
6. Run the car on track and realtime streaming for Pi Camera
7. Building the base for Tensorflow model for ML based car control
Workshop 2 (July 6) - Implement TensorFlow Lite model in Rasp Pi:
8. Train "object detection" model for sign board detection
9. Train "track detection" model for automated steering of the car
10. Build TFLite model to embed on Raspberry Pi
11. Building the base for Edge Computing with Raspberry Pi
Workshop 3 (Aug 3) - Final fine tuning:
12. Understanding edge computing
13. Run assembled car with Raspberry Pi and TFlite mode on track
14. Understanding edge to edge communication
15. Make cars talk to each other and make decisions locally
16. Taking decisions locally and advanced features like panic state, abiding rules etc.
17. Run the final assembled car with Ultrasonic, Tensorflow model and edge computing
18. Walkthrough of the whole architecture
