Like their big brothers, they run ML/CV software, from TensorFlow and OpenCV to ROS and Keras. To keep costs down, they split their computational tasks between Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano computers onboard for real-time processing and cloud processing for offline training. https://www.diyrobocars.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/22043319_134536237279713_1328323317525905408_n.mp4 On Twitter Tweets by diyrobocars Recent Posts A DIY Autonomous Robotic Lawnmower 02/04/2024 Towards an affordable Base Station for outdoor RTK GPS RC Car racing 01/11/2024 Using the Donkey Car Path_Follow Template with RTK GPS 12/28/2023 Super simple wheel encoder 08/15/2022 Show your RaspberryPi IP address on startup with an OLED 12/29/2021 Teardown of Naobot AI robot 05/14/2021 Using ArduRover with an RTK GPS 01/18/2021 An improved version of the Intel OpenBot 12/14/2020 First impressions of Tinkergen MARK robocar 11/15/2020 First impressions of the Intel OpenBot 11/09/2020 Getting started with Robocars 10/31/2020 The difference between proper RC cars and toys (when you’re turning them into robots) 06/14/2020 Review of the new Nivida Jetson NX for robocars 06/01/2020 Review of the new HuskyLens AI camera as a robocar brain 05/10/2020 Arduino Serial Plotter: The Missing Manual 05/04/2020 Comparing Sonar and Lidar Arrays 05/01/2020 Lessons learned making a Lidar-based maze rover 03/19/2020 Rules and guidelines for the DIY Robocars outdoors races 03/01/2020 How to add an encoder to the Donkeycar chassis 01/31/2020 Maze navigation with the Realsense 435 depth sensor camera 01/07/2020 Using the Intel Realsense T265 and the Jetson Nano for a robocar 12/03/2019 Meet Ross Robinson, the Defender of Humanity 08/23/2019 Adventures with the Nvidia JetBot and JetRacer 08/12/2019 First impressions of the new Zumi robot car 08/11/2019 Experiments with new all-in-one motor/motor controller/encoder 07/23/2019 Copyright ©2020 All...
