The Roboracer Foundation’s Post

Autoware is open-source in action! It was our honor to welcome Autoware Foundation co-founder Shinpei Kato to the Center of Excellence for Autonomous Driving at University of Pennsylvania. Here we build electric and autonomous vehicle reference platforms which extend open-source Autoware's full-stack AV software to learning-enabled perception, planning and control. Students Karthikeya Jayarama, Siddharth Ramanathan and Autoware engineer Po-Jen Wang demonstrated new off-road and earning-enabled perception to Christian John, President of TIER IV North America. We saw startup efforts from Tejas Agarwal, Kevin Paulose, Tejendra Patel.
