Designing a Receding Horizon Planner for an Autonomous Formula Student Racecar - Kerry He, 2021
In autonomous driving, the motion planning subsystem is required to determine a feasible state and control trajectory to navigate the vehicle to perform a specific task. Kerry He’s thesis presents an implementation of a receding horizon planner (RHP) to perform motion planning for Monash Motorsport’s autonomous racecar to compete in the Formula Student Driverless competition.
Path Planning and Control in an Autonomous Formula Student Vehicle - Adam Slomoi 2018
The design of a path planning and control algorithm for a formula student vehicle is one of the key milestones to competing in driverless competitions. Adam Slomoi’s Final Year Project takes us back to the team’s beginnings for autonomous driving, from optimal race line computation to control.
Brand Management in Formula Student - Vincent Chu, 2018
Vincent Chu’s Final Year Thesis outlines and clearly defines aspects of the Monash Motorsport brand, serving as a referential source for brand deployment.
Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping using LiDAR for Autonomous Racing - Michael Mattiske, 2018
In our pursuit to become Australia’s first team to compete with a driverless car, Michael Mattiske’s Final Year Project was essential as it established our perception and state estimation foundations.
Design and Integration of an Electrical System for a Combustion Formula-SAE Race Car, Thejana Abeykoon - 2019
Thejana Abeykoon's Final Year Thesis highlights the importance of meticulous care and attention to detail when designing and manufacturing such a critical system on an FSAE race car.
Implementation of a Driving Simulator Within a Formula Student Team - Tom Behrendt, 2017
Drivers are one of the biggest variables in any Formula SAE team. Check out how Tom Behrendt made our current driver simulator to help them perform at their best.
Design and Manufacture of an SLS Printed Intake using ETC for FSAE - Samuel Wilson, 2019
Sam Wilson’s 2019 thesis on a new 3D printed intake design and manufacture in combination with an electronic throttle body helped us maximise performance for M19-C.
Development and Integration of a Computing Platform for an Autonomous Vehicle - James Wyatt, 2018
Back in 2018, during the foundational stages of M19-D’s development, James Wyatt and our Autonomous Systems team sought to build and implement a computing platform - an integral component of our first ever Driverless Vehicle.
Design, Manufacture and Testing of Suspension for a Formula SAE Car - Adam Mapson, 2011
Adam Mapson’s thesis details Monash Motorsport’s 2011 suspension package - designed with a strong focus on manufacturability and efficiency.
