TianRacer详细中文操作手册
Tianracer is a series of low-cost autonomous vehicles ranging in size from 1:10 to 1:5, controlled in a closed-loop system, allowing them to follow input commands more faithfully. All Tianracer models are equipped with NVIDIA development boards, including Jetson Nano, Jetson TX2, Xavier, Orin, and more. The basic version of Tianracer can reach a maximum speed of 3m/s, while the pro version can achieve speeds up to 10m/s.

Introduction

TianRacer ROS Wiki Our objective is to develop an affordable autonomous racing car, the Tianracer, with capabilities extending beyond basic mapping, localization, and navigation. It will feature advanced functionalities such as object detection, traffic light detection, and lane keeping. Currently, Tianracer builds upon and enhances the AI capabilities inherited from Jetracer.
