Overview
A three-person ROAR team using a manually tuned PID controller that placed second and recorded the fastest lap in Fall 2020.
Highlights
- Participated in UC Berkeley's Robot Open Autonomous Racing program and worked in a three-person simulation-racing team.
- Manually tuned a PID controller for fast autonomous driving and supported other team members and new participants.
- Placed second in the Fall 2020 ROAR S1 series with a 1,104.00-second total and recorded the fastest single lap at 77.15 seconds.
Project narrative
Situation
The ROAR simulation competition challenged teams to control an autonomous car quickly and reliably around a racing environment.
Task
Work in a three-person team to improve autonomous driving performance for the Fall 2020 S1 series.
Action
I helped manually tune the PID controller, supported team performance work, and provided technical guidance to newer participants.
Result
Our team placed second with a 1,104.00-second total and earned the fastest-single-lap result at 77.15 seconds.
