Academic
The F1Tenth Autonomous Car Racing Organization or ACRO at Boston University is a student-led organization dedicated to advancing research and innovation in autonomous systems, with a specific focus on the intersection of motorsports and computer vision algorithms. Our mission is threefold: to ignite passion for cutting-edge technologies, inspire curiosity in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence, and cultivate analytical thinking skills among our members.At the heart of our club lies a passion for a fascination with the intricate algorithms that power autonomous vehicles on a competitive level where we are constantly pushing new grounds for research and development. We believe that the high-speed, dynamic environment of racing tracks provides a unique testbed for developing and refining vision algorithms, decision-making systems, and control mechanisms that can later be applied to real-world autonomous vehicles.Our club members work collaboratively on designing, building, and programming 1/10th scale autonomous race cars, leveraging state-of-the-art computer vision techniques, machine learning models, and control systems. We strive to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of autonomous systems, exploring cutting-edge technologies such as deep learning, sensor fusion, and advanced perception algorithms.Through these hands-on projects, workshops, and competitions, our goal is for our members to gain invaluable practical experience in areas such as robotics, embedded systems, and software engineering. We encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering an environment where students from diverse backgrounds, including computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics, can contribute their unique perspectives and skills.Moreover, the F1Tenth Club at Boston University serves as a hub for knowledge-sharing and community-building. We organize guest lectures, seminars, and industry collaborations as well as collaborations with other schools such as MIT, providing our members with opportunities to learn from experts in the field and gain insights into the latest developments in autonomous systems.By participating in the F1Tenth Club, students not only develop technical skills but also cultivate essential soft skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Our club fosters an inclusive and supportive environment, encouraging members to explore their interests, take calculated risks, and learn from their failures.Ultimately, the F1Tenth Autonomous Racing Club at Boston University aims to inspire the next generation of innovators and pioneers in the field of autonomous systems, contributing to the advancement of cutting-edge technologies that will shape the future of transportation, robotics, and beyond.
