Overview / Usage

The Donkey Car (source: http://www.donkeycar.com/) is an open source autonomous model car platform developed by Will Roscoe and Adam Conway. It is using a Raspberry Pi 3 and opencv & tensorflow for computer vision and inferencing.

The scope of this project is to extend the Raspberry Pi 3 with a Neural Compute Stick for fast inferencing and to compare its performance with the standard Donkey Car platform and to participate in the DIYRoboCars challenge.

Methodology / Approach

  1. Build a standard donkey car as per current instructions (http://www.donkeycar.com/)
  2. Collect dataset, train network
  3. Benchmark predictions
  4. Power-up the raspberry pi3 with an NCS
  5. Convert and deploy network, compare to base line
