Sektor 02 — Projektet
Engineering thefuture of autonomousmobility.
APEX Autonomous is a student-run team at Linnaeus University competing in Formula Student Driverless. We design, build and race a car that has no driver in it.
Everything on the car is built by students — the chassis, the sensor rig, the embedded electronics, and the full autonomy stack from perception through to control.
Sektor 03 — Bilen
The autonomousformula project.
One vehicle, rebuilt every season. Each subsystem is owned by a division, and every division has to make its work fit inside the same car.
Sektor 04 — Autonomin
Perception, planningand control, built asone system.
The four stages below run on the car every cycle, at speed, with no human in the loop. A failure in any one of them stops the car — so they are designed, tested and tuned together rather than separately.
Stereo camera and LiDAR
Konerna hittas och sorteras efter färg — blå till vänster, gul till höger, orange vid start och mål.
Graph SLAM
Bilen beräknar var den själv befinner sig medan den bygger kartan, och sluter cirkeln när den känner igen startporten.
Delaunay triangulation
Körbar korridor räknas fram ur konparen, och en körlinje läggs genom den inom gränserna för grepp och kurvradie.
Model predictive control
Styrning och vridmoment räknas fram över en rullande horisont, och räknas om varje cykel mot bilens aktuella läge.
Validation
Nothing reaches thetrack untested.
Every change runs in simulation first. What goes on the car has already driven thousands of laps that never happened.
Sektor 05 — Avdelningarna
Six divisions,one vehicle.
Each division owns a part of the car outright. They are separate teams with separate skills, and they all ship into the same chassis on the same deadline.
Sektor 06 — Hårdvaran
Built by hand,measured by machine.
Boards are designed, populated and brought up in-house. Suspension geometry is machined to drawing and then checked against it.
Sektor 07 — Laget
Build somethingreal.
You do not need to know everything before joining. You need to want to learn it, and to keep showing up on the evenings when the car does not work.
Sektor 08 — Tävlingen
Four events.No driver in anyof them.
Formula Student Driverless scores the car across four dynamic disciplines. Autocross is the hard one: the car has never seen the layout, and it gets exactly one lap.
75 m from a standing start
Rak acceleration och antispinn, utan förare som känner av gasen.
Åtta, två tidtagna varv
Jämn kurvtagning. Reglersystemet måste hålla samma radie när vikten förflyttas.
One lap, track unseen
Bilen har aldrig kört den här banan. Allt kommer från vad den ser, i realtid.
Ten laps, mapped on lap one
Första varvet bygger kartan. Varv två till tio körs mot den, snabbare för varje gång.
Sektor 09 — Media
The season,documented.
Apex Media films the build, shoots the car and produces everything our partners see. The archive is the record of how the car got made.
Sektor 10 — Partners
Open forsponsorship.
Partners fund components, machining and travel, and get a team of engineering students who know their products in return.
