TinyKart
TinyKart
Our entry-level project for incoming members, Tinykart is an autonomous RC car platform developed by ISC for educational purposes. Team members will learn several areas of robotics including software, mechanical, and electrical. Members gain experience in C++, LiDAR, Ackermann kinematic models, and a basic autonomy stack. TinyKart allows new members to learn and experiment on a safe and inexpensive platform before moving on to our more advanced projects.
Phoenix
Project Phoenix
Our flagship project, Phoenix, will have experienced ISC members collaborate with industry and academia alike to produce an autonomous go-kart. Competing in the Autonomous Karting Series at Purdue University, Phoenix utilizes ROS2 and mobile robotics techniques to navigate itself at speed, all while a separate safety system keeps watch in case anything goes wrong. Phoenix will host advanced work from all of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, providing a chance for collaboration between disciplines not commonly seen in the classroom.
