HyphaROS RaceCar pkg

Abstract

We present a low-cost (~600USD), high speed, fully autonomous 1/10 rc car platform, called Hypha RaceCar. Instead of using high-end sensors/SBC like: hokuyo laser, Nvidia TX1, etc., our platform replace all expensive components with low-cost product (Odroid XU4, RPLidar A1, GY85 ...). The performance of high-end racecar, e.g. MIT RaceCar, is around 4 m/s (~3600USD), in contrast, Hypha RaceCar is able to achieve 3 m/s !
