RSS'2024 Vehicle Demo - Self-Driving & Tele-Operation

How can a self-driving vehicle safely and efficiently navigate amongst cyclists and pedestrians in a dense traffic environment (e.g. Delft city center)? What should be done if the vehicle gets stuck?

We demonstrated our progress on these challenges during a live demo at the RSS 2024 conference in Delft, July 2024.

A highlight of our self-driving stack is the Topology-Driven Model Predictive Control (T-MPC) motion planner by Oscar de Groot, Laura Ferranti, Dariu Gavrila and Javier Alonso-Mora. T-MPC optimizes multiple trajectories with different passing behaviors simultaneously, allowing the vehicle to quickly adapt to changes in its environment.

And if the self-driving vehicle gets stuck, teleoperation could provide a remedy...
