Drifting in the Future: Stabilizing Path Following Drifting on High-Latency Vehicle Systems
Frederik Werner, Till Heintzenberg, Markus Lienkamp +1
Autonomously controlling and handling a vehicle at and beyond its stability limit is a mathematically and computationally demanding task. Prior demonstrations of automated drifting…
Head-to-Head autonomous racing at the limits of handling in the A2RL challenge
Simon Hoffmann, Simon Sagmeister, Tobias Betz +17
Autonomous racing presents a complex challenge involving multi-agent interactions between vehicles operating at the limit of performance and dynamics. As such, it provides a valuab…
Online Velocity Profile Generation and Tracking for Sampling-Based Local Planning Algorithms in Autonomous Racing Environments
Alexander Langmann, Levent Ãgretmen, Frederik Werner +1
This work presents an online velocity planner for autonomous racing that adapts to changing dynamic constraints, such as grip variations from tire temperature changes and rubber ac…
GripMap: An Efficient, Spatially Resolved Constraint Framework for Offline and Online Trajectory Planning in Autonomous Racing
Frederik Werner, Ann-Kathrin Schwehn, Markus Lienkamp +1
Conventional trajectory planning approaches for autonomous vehicles often assume a fixed vehicle model that remains constant regardless of the vehicle's location. This overlooks th…
A Quasi-Steady-State Black Box Simulation Approach for the Generation of g-g-g-v Diagrams
Frederik Werner, Simon Sagmeister, Mattia Piccinini +1
The classical g-g diagram, representing the achievable acceleration space for a vehicle, is commonly used as a constraint in trajectory planning and control due to its computationa…
Accelerating Autonomy: Insights from Pro Racers in the Era of Autonomous Racing - An Expert Interview Study
Frederik Werner, René Oberhuber, Johannes Betz
This research aims to investigate professional racing drivers' expertise to develop an understanding of their cognitive and adaptive skills to create new autonomy algorithms. An ex…
