ABOUT US

In the Autonomous Vehicle Lab, we develop the vehicle of the future with intelligent algorithms and methods. We are involved in numerous projects in which artificial intelligence methods for autonomous vehicles are being investigated and further developed. Our software for autonomous vehicles is used in our flagship projects such as the Indy Autonomous Challenge or EDGAR.
Thereby, we research current problem fields in the areas of perception, planning, control, safety and evaluation. Our goal is always to develop the optimal overall software and to be able to use all algorithms in the real vehicle. By taking a particular look at complex scenarios, such as driving dynamic limits, unstructured environments or problems from ethics, we extend the state of the art in science. We not only publish our research results at numerous conferences and in journals, but we also open source our developed software on Github.
