Embedded Mobile Systems International Summer University
This International Summer University is a unique program focusing on the development of data systems relating to self driving cars. This 2-week innovative course is hosted by Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences in Wolfenbuttel Germany. In this course you will learn how self-driving cars operate and you will work on your first autonomous vehicle project - finding lane lines on the road! Additionally you will learn that tracking objects over time is a major challenge for understanding the environment surrounding a vehicle. Path planning routes a vehicle from one point to another and it handles how to react when emergencies arise. Ultimately, a self-driving car is still a car, and we need to send steering, throttle and brake commands to move the car through the world.
Also included in the program is a German language and cultural component. Students will gain insight into German history, culture and language. The region Braunschweig / Wolfenbuettel will lead you back to thoughts of the Middle Ages. In Berlin, Germany's capital, you will come in touch with the former border line between East and West.
