Madhur Behl, an assistant professor in computer science and engineering systems and environment, and his Ph.D. student Varundev Sukhil gave a talk and tutorial on F1/10 Autonomous Racing at the 2019 Nvidia GTC Conference, held in San Jose, Calif. They were invited by the Nvidia Deep Learning Institute for an instructor-led tutorial, which was attended by more than 150 participants. Nvidia GTC has become the premier artificial intelligence and deep learning conference series featuring multiple autonomous vehicles technologies, which are premiered at the venue every year. The tutorial focused on the new F1/10 Autonomous Racing Docker Simulator. Behl's team developed the simulator, which allows anyone to develop perception, planning and control algorithms for autonomous racing. The simulator is open source and available here.
