Autoware Documentation Collection and Tutorial Videos

PIX has organized the public documents of Autoware into orderly collections, covering the step-to-step instructions from environment deployment, software installation to vehicle setup and operation in both expressive descriptions and tutorial videos. Meanwhile, Autoware has open and full-scenario code repositories on Gitlab with rich online learning resources to help developers quickly master Autoware and realize multi-scenario demonstration on real vehicles.

About Autoware

Autoware is an open source software for self-driving vehicle development. The first version of Autoware originated from the research group at Nagoya University and has now developed into one of the most popular autonomous driving software platforms around the world, adopted by 100+ global enterprises, universities, research institutes and startups. Autoware has a versatile framework with functions covering localization, perception, prediction, decision-making, path planning, control and more. With modular design, the software modules can be added, removed and optimized accordingly based on different application scenarios.

ROS Development Instruction Manual

The manual covers basic introduction and use instructions on ROS, as well as in-detailed tutorials on project setup, enabling users to apply ROS function modules step by step. The manual also elaborates on the ROS programming techniques specifically for autonomous driving development and project setup, as well as informative knowledge on Autoware, further helping developers understand the in-depth principles and approaches of autonomous driving development.

Vehicle Drive-by-wire Technical Manual

PIX drive-by-wire manual provides a full range of technical guidance from the mechanism of drive-by-wire control, drive-by-wire steering, braking and power system to gear switch, covering the core principles of autonomous driving and its implementation methodology. For engineers who are not familiar with drive-by-wire vehicles or lack knowledge on the control approach, this manual offers them a great shortcut for fast development and the engineers can meanwhile gain an objective understanding on the bottom-layer control of autonomous vehicles for better and more efficient development.
