I am looking for CSE students (undergraduate and graduate) to help with the projects described below for credit or volunteer. Please contact me if you are interested in any of these projects.
Thanks.

*** PACCAR Remote Controlled Truck Project
This project seeks students to help develop the user interface for a remotely controlled truck. The team will also be responsible for the development of the MATLAB/Simulink/C/C++ software for the remote control of a vehicle. The vehicle under control will provide data from sensors such as cameras and radar that the operator can use to safely control the vehicle. The data will be provided to the operator via wireless communication. The remote operator will be able to steer the truck, actuate the brakes and apply torque to the wheels.
*** EcoCAR ADAS Project
The UW EcoCAR 3 team is looking for students to join its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) team. The UW EcoCAR 3 Team is transforming a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into a high-performance, hybrid vehicle and uses ADAS to improve the vehicle’s fuel economy and emissions. The ADAS team is responsible for developing vision-processing algorithms to identify different elements on the road (such as pedestrians, vehicles, signs and road lines), and to assess real-world traffic and surroundings for vehicle efficiency enhancement. Students will learn how to develop vision-based ADAS systems and vision-processing algorithms, while learning embedded hardware programming. The team uses Freescale’s S32V Vision Processing Board, MATLAB/Simulink, and C/C++ in a Linux platform.
