This repository is devoted to share resources among all Formula Student Driverless teams as well as all other interested parts developing Software and Hardware for autonomous driving and racing. We believe driverless racing is a hard enough challenge and if we share some of our achievments and resources we can accelerate the development of the whole community. Please feel invited to do a pull request and add any dataset, report, or video that can be interesting for the whole community.

This section is devoted to share data collected in, or related to, Formula Student Driverless Vehicles.

• The data can be found in this link

• The data comes in .bag format. This is the standard logging format for ROS and it can be easily imported to matlab using available tools.

• The Car reference frame is defined as (front, left, up) and has it is aligned and has its origin in the IMU reference frame. All the sensor's data are already aligned with the car. The data is given in International Sytem Units unless otherwise specified.

• The data was collected in an airfiled in the outskirts of Zurich. The ground is mostly flat but there are some curved regions and bumps. There is high grass on the side of the of the road. The day was very sunny.

• In this rosbag one can find the following topics:

  • velodyne_points : Contains the Lidar point returns in a sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 message type. The Lidar is a Velodyne Puck VLP16 and the message are the individual packets sent by the sensor. The position of the LiDAR in car_frame is x= 1.6 m, y= 0.0 m.

  • optical_speed_sensor: Contains ground speed data in a geometry_msgs/TwistStamped message type. This sensor is a Kistler Correvit SFII. The position of this sensor in the car frame is x= -0.41m y= 0.27 m.

  • wheel_rpm : contains the wheel speed data in a geometry_msgs/QuaternionStamped message type. x -> front left wheel, y -> front right wheel. z -> rear left wheel. w -> rear right wheel. The data is expressed in rpm's. The distance to thefront axel is 0.81m, to the rear axel 0.72m, and the track width is 1.2m.

  • imu : Contains the accelerometer and gyroscopes information in a sensor_msgs/Imu message type. This sensor is an SBG ellipse-N. The position of this sensor in the car frame is x = 0.0 m, y = 0.0 m.

  • gps : Contains the GPS information in sensor_msgs/NavSatFix message type. The data is expressed in degrees for Lattitue and Longitude. The sensor is the same SBG ellipse-N used as IMU.

• A Vision dataset taken on fluela driverless with all the details can be found in this link

• Open-Source Dataset for Objects that need to be recognized during the dynamic disciplines of the Formula Student Driverless competitions, started by municHMotorsports, link here.

This section is devoted to share software tools related to or helpful in, Formula Student Driverless.

• The Rosbag Bazaar (RBB) is a tool to index/visualize/manage rosbags on remote storage systems. Additionally it provides a web interface and framework for automated simulations. It is a tool helpful to anyone handling large amounts of rosbags and complex software pipelines in real robots. Find the code in this link.

This section is devoted to share Algorithms dealing with or related to, Formula Student Driverless Vehicles. They could be Visual pipelines, Lidar, estimation, control, etc..

• Model Predictive Contouring Controller (MPCC) for Autonomous Racing developed by the Automatic Control Lab (IfA) at ETH Zurich. Find all the details in this link.

• Global Race Trajectory Optimization developed by the chair of Automotive Technology of Technical University of Munich (TUM). Find all the details in this link.

The FSD skeleton repository, found here, is an example framework for the code used on a FSD race car. Based on the autonomous software of fluela and gotthard driverless, the framework is built in ROS, and contains the structure and basic ROS nodes to illustrate how to organise an autonomous software stack. Some features are:

• Easy build management
• Custom aliases
• Launchfiles for FSD missions
• Dependency management

This section is devoted to sharing simulations dealing with or related to, Formula Student Driverless Vehicles. This could be vehicle dynamic models, environment models, sensors, etc..

ROS/Gazebo simulation packages for driverless FSAE vehicles. It features a basic RWD Formula Student vehicle model, dynamic event tracks and highly configurable sensor packages. The repository can be found here.
