Autonomy software

Our autonomy software group aims to develop a foundation for other groups to build upon. Other research teams can conduct experiments and suggest improvements, which we then integrate into the platform.

Autonomy software architecture

Our base platform is Autoware Mini, a minimalistic Python-based autonomy software developed in-house with a permissive MIT license. It is built on Python and ROS 1, making it easy to get started with and well-suited for teaching and research. We have tested the platform by successfully driving it in the city center of Tartu, and also participated in the Tartu on-demand transportation project, providing autonomous rides to real passengers on the outskirts of Tartu. See the Software page for more details.
