Abstract :
The video shows an overview of the ISRobotCar, an experimental autonomous electric vehicle that integrates the robot operating system (ROS.org) and several sensors such as an IBEO laser scanner, inertial measurement units (IMU), RTK-GPS, vision cameras, and magnet detectors for magnetic guidance. The main purpose of this vehicle is to serve as a platform for experimental testing of algorithms required for autonomous navigation and cooperative navigation in urban environments. In the video, we present the ISRobotCar moving autonomously in a parking-like area as well as its main hardware and control modules.
