This is the code repo for Hari Shanmugaraja and Tony Liang's Senior Research Project

Our project aims to create a self-driving remote control car. The car we are using is a Traxxas Rustler, and it will be controlled using a neural network that runs on a Raspberry Pi. We will use LIDAR, cameras, and accelerometers in order to train a recurrent neural network, as they are known for their time series functionality. This project aims to help further and refine research into the autonomous vehicle field by creating a self driving remote-control car that is able to detect and avoid obstacles, all while completing a closed course.

-Raspbian: Raspberry Pi OS to develop code, and compile Lidar SDK

-RPLIDAR SDK: Lidar code that runs on the Pi

-Matplotlib: Python library to visualize Lidar data

-Raspbian

-RPLIDAR SDK

-Matplotlib: $python -m pip install -U matplotlib

Instructions to compile and run lidar code can be found here

Neural network and Lidar image will be added when we have them
