Description

Autoware an open source platform for autonomous driving, with the largest autonomous driving open source community. Based on ROS, it has found widespread adoption among robotics and mobility related research and industry. So far, Autoware is used by 100+ companies, runs on 30+ vehicles, is used in 20+ countries, as well as for education in 5 countries. Autoware.AI is the original Autoware project build on ROS 1, launched as a research and development platform for autonomous driving technology for researchers, developers, and students interested in autonomous driving technology. Autoware.Auto is the next generation of Autoware based on ROS 2, managed by an open source community manager, applies best-in-class software engineering practices, and is based on a redesigned architecture.

The goal of this workshop is to introduce Autoware to the APSIPA ASC 2019 community and to discuss self-driving activities. This full-day workshop will be dedicated explain all the elements of Autoware. A technical tour to Lanzhou University is also included for a demonstration of their recent activities and educational self-driving vehicles using Autoware. Invited speakers from academia and industry will provide their invaluable insights to the adoption of Autoware and self-driving technology.
