SLAM Implementation of an Open-source Platform for Autonomous Driving for Education and Research

Abstract

In order for people to coexist with autonomous cars, there are problems such as shortage of engineers and lack of understanding about autonomous cars. Therefore, we developed ACTT to solve the problem. In this study, we implemented Hector SLAM on ACTT to verify the operation of it. As a result, the LiDAR implemented on ACTT was low-spec, but it was able to create accurate maps. In the future, we will implement Navigation Stack on ACTT that is a very inexpensive autonomous model vehicle.
