At Maker Faire and Make Chemnitz, which took place from 18 to 21 July in bright sunshine in Chemnitz's Stadthallenpark, students, families, and technology enthusiasts visiting the stand of CADA - Chemnitz Automated Driving Alliance had the chance to tinker and experiment with software for automated driving themselves. With the help of various robot kits, the students in the CADA workshop were able not only to build a mobile robot but even to program it with artificial intelligence. To do so, the students first had to navigate the robot along an optical line to teach it a route. The recorded data was then processed in a software tool so that the mobile robot could finally drive the same route autonomously with the help of AI.
A big thank-you to the organisers of MakerFaire and Make Chemnitz and to the many interested technology enthusiasts for four exciting days full of variety, fun, knowledge, and creativity!
By the way: the Chemnitz Automated Driving Alliance - CADA for short - is a network in the field of automated driving that is unique in Germany. CADA is an association of innovative technology companies from the regional automotive industry. Together we are developing automated driving in Chemnitz with the goal of making mobility sustainable and accessible to everyone.
