A robotic platform to evalute autonomous driving systems

Abstract

The paper proposes an assessment framework in which two platforms are used, one is simulation based, the other, Robert, is a robot that carries out the basic control of actuators. Robert platform can be installed on any cars. Authors have completed those basic capabilities in one case with upper level control (path planning, upper control) to assess perception capabilities. Robert basic controllers have also been completed to evaluate full autonomous control capabilities, without the difficulty to maintain low level controllers.
