KOU-Mekatronom

Introduction

Hello, the KOU-Mekatronom team was founded in 2019 with the purpose of participating in competitions focused on autonomous vehicles. I joined the university team in 2022, and continued as the active team captain until 2025. Currently, I serve as an advisor to the university team, working to ensure the continuation and growth of the next generation.

Competitions I Participated In

Teknofest Robotaxi (2022, 2023) – Ranked 19th & 6th among university teams in Turkey
Teknofest Robotaxi Mentor (2024)
Bosch Future Mobility Challenge (2024) – Only Turkish team among 160 international applicants, finalist top-24 in Cluj, Romania

Competition Details

The Robotaxi competition at Teknofest is the most comprehensive autonomous vehicle competition organized in Turkey. You can watch a related video here.

Bosch Future Mobility Challenge, an international autonomous RC car competition organized by Bosch.

Algorithm Details

Below are reference videos for the Robotaxi and Bosch Future Mobility Challenge competitions, showcasing the algorithms used.

Bosch Future Mobility Challenge:

This series will be shows of all of the details job which i did for the bosch future mobility Challenge. developed nonlinear model predictive control using CasADi to solve equations with a bicycle dynamic model. This control algorithm incorporates obstacle avoidance by calculating distances using the Euclidean method. For localization, I utilized the ZED2i camera, integrating visual odometry and IMU data, and implemented additional encoders and IMU sensors with the robot_localization package. I also transformed point cloud data from the ZED2i into 2D data using the pointcloud_to_laserscan package for obstacle detection, excluding floor depth data. In these projects,

I worked extensively with C++, Python, MATLAB, and ROS. You can find full project as open-source and fully detailed readme.md details in my Github page.
