NXP Cup 2023
Sense, Think, Act: See what is expected from you at the NXP CUP. Be fast, yes, but don’t forget about precision. And have your car stop at the right moment.
Lars Reger, CTO, NXPThe technology, university support and the incredible partner ecosystem give students opportunities to learn key collaborative teamwork skills and become familiar with core technologies to build autonomous robots.
NXP Cup Self-Driving Robot
Just like an autonomous vehicle, your car will sense, think and act. Using a camera sensor integrated with the motor control system, your vehicle will sense its environment and autonomously navigate and propel through the race course.
The low-cost entry kit comes equipped with NXP components that are used in cars on the road today. All you need is basic embedded software programming and circuitry knowledge and the willingness to learn.
Using the NXP Mobile Robotics suite, NXP Cup contestants will be able to develop more advanced algorithms for their Cup cars. The NXP FMUK66 runs PX4 Autopilot, an advanced autopilot software for drones, airplanes, rovers and more.
