Building an Autonomous System for Low-Speed Delivery Vehicles

The project aims to develop an autonomous solution for low-speed vehicles (LSVs) used in last-mile delivery, focusing on cost-effectiveness and enhanced functionality. The primary goal is to integrate advanced safety systems and remote operation capabilities into these vehicles. By addressing key safety and operational challenges, the project seeks to improve the efficiency of LSVs in urban and suburban environments. Learners will apply their knowledge of autonomous systems, sensor integration, and remote control technologies to create a scalable solution. The project encourages innovation in vehicle automation, ensuring that the developed system is both practical and adaptable to various delivery scenarios.

Hands-On Electrical Engineering Intern – Bringing LiDAR, Sensors & Jetson Together

Telebotics is developing a Level 1 autonomy kit for micro-mobility vehicles, focusing on enhancing safety and efficiency in campus environments. The project involves designing and assembling a wiring harness that connects sensors, compute units (NVIDIA Jetson), and actuators (steering, brake, throttle) for a prototype vehicle. The goal is to ensure robust signal and power connections, facilitating safe remote operation and emergency braking. Learners will apply their electrical engineering knowledge to address challenges in signal integrity and power distribution, working closely with simulated product and software team inputs. This project provides a practical opportunity to integrate classroom learning with real-world applications in autonomous vehicle technology.

ROS2 Development- Campus EV Tele-Operation

Students will develop and enhance the vision-based safety system for our remotely operated campus vehicle. The project focuses specifically on improving the ROS2 nodes that process camera and LiDAR data to detect pedestrians and obstacles. Students will work with existing sensor hardware to create more reliable detection algorithms, implement visualization tools for the operator dashboard, and thoroughly test the system's performance. This focused project is ideal for computer science or robotics students with ROS experience who want to apply their classroom knowledge of computer vision and sensor processing to a real-world application.

Software Solution - Last Mile Delivery

The primary objective of this 80-hour project is to pave the foundational groundwork for a robotic delivery network. Emphasis is placed on the conceptualization, design, and development of a functional demo for individual working robots. The project aims to tackle core components, from formulating a robust software architecture to fine-tuning basic movement commands and safety measures like collision avoidance and battery management.
