TUM is one of only a few teams to take part in the first race series for autonomous vehicles this year: Roborace Season Alpha.
Since 2018, a team of seven PhD students from the Chair of Automotive Engineering and the Chair of Control Engineering has been developing an integrated software that makes it possible to move an autonomous racing car on the racetrack. The Season Alpha takes place at different locations in Europe and North America to test several competition formats with the new autonomous racing car DevBot 2.0. The first official event took place at the Monteblanco circuit in Spain. Divided into three episodes you can watch the first Season Alpha event on Youtube
Monteblanco Episode 1 - The Road to Autonomous Overtaking
Monteblanco Episode 2 - Coding Challenges with Autonomous Overtaking
Monteblanco Episode 3 - FIRST-EVER Autonomous Race
