Planning & Control Team

Overview

We are responsible for developing algorithms and systems that enable the autonomous vehicle to navigate, make decisions, and respond to the environment it encounters on the road.​

• Path Planning: These are algorithms for the best route considering road conditions, traffic signals, lanes, and obstacles.​

• Trajectory Following: This entails guiding the vehicle along a precise path, providing velocity and steering commands​

• Obstacle Avoidance & Decision Making: Autonomous vehicles need to make real-time decisions based on the information gathered from sensors and the surrounding environment. Leveraging data from cameras, LiDAR, and radar, the car determines its response to objects, pedestrians, and vehicles, ensuring safe navigation. The team creates algorithms that help the vehicle determine actions like lane changes, merging onto highways, overtaking vehicles, and handling complex traffic scenarios.​
