Efficient End-To-End Autonomous Driving, Hesham Eraqi

Theses and Dissertations

Steering a car through traffic is a complex task that is difficult to cast into algorithms. Therefore, researchers turn to train artificial neural networks from front-facing camera data stream along with the associated steering angles. Nevertheless, most existing solutions consider only the visual camera frames as input, thus ignoring the temporal relationship between frames. In this work, we propose a Convolution Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network (C-LSTM), which is end-to-end trainable, to learn both visual and dynamic temporal dependencies of driving. Additionally, We introduce posing the steering angle regression problem as classification while imposing a spatial relationship between the …

Theses and Dissertations

The integration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and multirobot systems (MRS) represents an active research area supporting a wide range of applications. This is because it enables ubiquitous applications due to the robots' mobility and detection capabilities associated with its deployment. These systems have many benefits, such as perception with extended coverage that facilitate wider exploration and surveillance, efficiency in data routing, effective and reliable task environment management, etc. However, integrating two fields of research means dealing with a range of challenges such as using effective architecture for WSNs and MRS, efficient communication protocols within a network of sensors nodes …
