We help bringing #AutonomousDriving to the next level. As part of the funded project #nxtAIM we leverage AI to enable fully automated driving (level 4) and autonomous driving (level 5) – while at the same time fulfilling the high safety requirements of the German automotive industry.   “We see enormous potential in the generation of data for training and validation for radar-based environment detection through the utilization of generative AI,” explain Ernst Warsitz, Director Radar Technology & Perception and Claas Tebrügge, Head of the Research Institute for Automotive Electronics (E-LAB) at FORVIA HELLA.   This light-house project clearly underlines the importance of public funding, which enables a project of such a size and scope with that many relevant partners, contributing to maintaining Germany as a key player in developing automated driving technologies.   The large-scale project was now presented to the public, together with Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck. His Ministry is funding the project. We are proud to be part of this journey alongside Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) e.V., project coordinators Mercedes-Benz AG, Continental as well as many others partners.   Foto Credit: ©BMWK / Andreas Mertens   #FORVIAHELLA #Automotive #Innovation

Excited to share that our research paper, "Seamless Integration of Fast LIO2 and Sophus for Advanced Autonomous Driving Capabilities," has been published on IEEE Xplore!! In this paper, we focused on enhancing the performance of the Kalman filter by integrating Sophus. This integration addressed the Kalman filter’s limitations in handling complex 3D transformations. Sophus provided efficient and accurate Lie group computations, significantly improving the filter’s capabilities, resulting in better pose estimation and overall SLAM performance. Our approach led to reduced absolute and relative pose errors and faster processing times marking significant progress in autonomous driving technology. A huge thank you to my amazing co-authors Sathish V, Lalith Kishore,Mohammed Asim and Mohammad Saifali Shaikh and our mentor Shwetha Baliga for their constant guidance and support.

The participants are students and young professionals from fields such as engineering, computer science, robotics, and related disciplines. Tomorrow the Hochschule München will be hosting the 4th edition of the exciting and dynamic event. Over two days – 14-15 November – the competition brings together promising young engineers to compete against each other with self-built or modified 1:8 scale model cars to tackle autonomous driving tasks. As a model car, our #MXcarkit has become a key part of the challenge. 🚗 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀? On the first day the teams will get straight into free training. This will prepare them for the competition. The second day is dedicated to competition, as teams test their autonomous vehicles in a series of challenging scenarios, including racing, parking, and connected driving. The day will wrap up with an awards ceremony where the top teams will be recognized for their outstanding achievements. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 For #MdynamiX, supporting new generations of engineers is essential.

Dear Friends, Together with my colleagues Dan Doru MICU and Bogdan Ovidiu VARGA released a new Special Issue with the objective of collecting virtual models for autonomous driving systems. "Virtual Models for Autonomous Driving Systems" intends to compile autonomous driving simulation methods and scenarios into a single COMPEDIUM to provide scientists and researchers with a clear methodology for validating autonomous vehicles. We invite all interested authors to publish open access papers in Applied Sciences MDPI on autonomous driving virtual systems and algorithms, including virtual environments, routes, infrastructure, and traffic models, simulation methodology and scenarios for connected vehicles, and collaborative driving integrated into intelligent transportation systems.
