Future Work

PD Controller for lane

i.Steering Controller

a.Tune the values more

b.Mid lane isn’t necessarily the fastest spot to be in

ii.Implement a more intelligent velocity controller

a.Fast on hallways

b.Intelligent enough to slow down for corners

c.Secondary Point

iii.WiFi Issues

a.Fix the bridging issue

Detects whether the car has approached a corner or not

i.Corner Detection

a.Smarter algorithm to make tighter turns

b.Make it work on both sides

Implement a SLAM algorithm on the car

i.Map areas that are new

a.Allow the car to get faster by training on a course

ii.Recognize location based off images or lidar data

a.Use this for known courses to obtain better performance

Pattern recognition

i.Recognize certain patterns with significance, such as a start and/or finish line

ii.In an adversarial system, could be helpful for passing maneuvers

Parking

i.Use the camera to help automate parking the car

ii.Especially when facing a ramp that is not an obstacle in front (because LIDAR has a FoV, might need a sensor facing downward or need ZED to calculate the distance variation)
