DESCRIPTION:Daniel Tobias\, a recent B.S Comp Eng graduate from NCA&amp;T will 
 present about his senior design project &quot;Cherry Autonomous Racecar - 1/10t
 h scale Nvidia Jetson TX1 based RC car.&quot;\n\nThe Cherry Autonomous Racecar 
 (CAR) was a senior design project created this past year at NC A&amp;T. The go
 al of the project was to create a low cost robotics platform that could be
  used to teach\, design and validate different approaches to autonomous dr
 iving\, while implementing similar sensors used in the industry.\n\nTalk b
 reakdown: The presentation will be a categorized in three parts.\n\nThe fi
 rst will be related to the sensor suite that the project is using along wi
 th an summary of what each sensor is able to do. The main idea is to talk 
 about the performance of each sensor and the hardships that were faced imp
 lementing each sensor so that others could avoid making the same mistakes.
  Then talk about the trade-offs of similar sensors.\n\nThe second part wil
 l talk about the software\, specifically the ROS network and the Tensorflo
 w implementation of End to End learning for Self-Driving Cars that is bein
 g used to drive the CAR autonomously around the hallways of A&amp;T.\n\nThe la
 st part will be about similar projects from other universities\, and suppo
 rt surrounding the Jetson board.\n\nThis will be followed by a 5-10 mins Q
 &amp;A.\n\nSpeaker Information\n\nDaniel Tobias recently Graduated from NCA&amp;TS
 U with a B.S. Comp. Eng.\n\nCurrently Studying for the GRE\, taking the Ud
 acity&#39;s Self-Driving Nanodegree course and working on the GM AutoDrive Cha
 llenge.\n\nIEEE ENCS RA24 chapter appreciates the passion and drive from D
 aniel towards the project and wishes all the very best to his career &amp; lif
 e.\n\nIEEE ENCS RA24 chapter recommends engineers and professionals to mak
 e use of 50% IEEE membership discount for the year\, make use of the caree
 r\, research and colloboration opportunites from this great science instit
 ution.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, \, \, \n\nAgenda: \n6:20-7:00pm Networking with p
