Lab Parallel Computing for Mobile Robotics (MA-INF 4226)
In this lab, students gain hands-on experience with parallel computing principles and the CUDA framework. Starting off with simple, introductory examples and then moving on to common motion planning tasks, parallelized versions of concepts such as A* search, sampling-based motion planning with RRT, and collision checking will be implemented using C++ in small groups of two or three students. More details on the topics and the requirements will be presented at the first introductory meeting.
Prerequisites: C++, Linux
Contents: CUDA computing, Motion Planning algorithms (A*, RRT, DWA), Collision Checking
Contact:
- Prof. Dr. Maren Bennewitz
- Course organization: Dr. Marcell Missura
