Bachelor Project "Partially Automated Driving"

After successfully completing the module, students will be able to:

• Design and implement their own project to address a scientific question, and clearly explain and present their approach,
• Collaborate effectively in an international and diverse team to reach a shared understanding of the project goals,
• Develop and understand initial ideas for sustainable technical solutions to scientific problems.

As part of the bachelor project "Partially Automated Driving," students work in teams of two or three to build a simple mobile robot and equip it with adaptive cruise control and an active lane-keeping assistant. The goal is for the robot to follow a lead vehicle along an unknown route, maintaining a constant distance even during sudden speed changes, while minimizing energy consumption. To achieve this, the robot must be equipped with additional sensors and an appropriate control algorithm must be developed. In addition, students are expected to enhance the robot’s appearance or functionality by designing and 3D printing new attachments. Through this project, students gain valuable skills in team-based, project-oriented work and receive a multidisciplinary introduction to engineering studies.

The lecture-related materials will be made available for download on Stud.IP throughout the course of the lecture. These include the script, exercises, exam materials, and supplementary literature.
