Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) - PoliMOVE
May 8th, 2020
Abstract
Energy Systems Network (ESN) and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), primary organizers of the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), today announced that 37 universities that excel in AI software and autonomous vehicle engineering have formed 31 teams to officially enter this first-of-its-kind challenge. The IAC is a $1.5 million prize competition among universities to program autonomous-modified Dallara IL-15 racecars. The teams will compete in the world’s first head-to-head race at speeds of up to 200 mph around the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway on October 23, 2021.
For Italy, in competition the PoliMOVE team of Politecnico di Milano. The group is chaired by its founder, Prof. Sergio M. Savaresi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergio-m-savaresi-74b55ba/). Within DEIB, the research group MOVE is one of the leading international groups in the field of vehicles-control. Founded in 2001, the MOVE research team is constituted by 6 Faculty members, more than 20 PhD students, and more than 50 MSc students.
This competition can be very helpful to focus research group capabilities in the development of a complex problem in the class of autonomous-vehicle design. The primary goal of the Challenge is to advance technology that can speed the commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles and deployments of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). These enhancements will lead to increased safety and performance in all modes of racing and commercial transportation.
