Build your own AutoRally Platform

The AutoRally platform is designed to be constructed by a small team of undergraduate or graduate students with engineering or computer science backgrounds. A complete platform comprised of a chassis and Mini-ITX compute box can be constructed and configured in about 100 hours.

Documentation is separated into a few parts, all of which are contained in two GitHub repositories along with all supplemental files.

• Platform build instructions
  • Chassis instructions and supporting materials
  • Mini-ITX compute box instructions and supporting materials
  • Complete parts list
  • Files for 3D printing and fabrication
  • Operating Procedures
• Code and software tutorials
  • Platform configuration instructions to configure a completed platform
  • Core software to run the platform
  • State estimator built with GTSAM that fuses GPS and IMU measurements
  • GPS waypoint steering controller and constant velocity throttle controller
  • Gazebo-based simulation environment with vehicle model
