Software for a self-driving car, based on artificial neural networks (ANNs). An Unity simulation is provided to run the car.

Multiple sensors provide distance information to the ANN. In the evaluation process, these data is used to get the steering angle.

A module is provided for generating an infinitely long, randomly generated road. The SensorCar is capable of driving through this road map without any collisions.

❗ This project started as a proof of principle and contains two different networks. One is programmed without the use of any high-level libraries whereas the other is build with Tensorflow.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

This project requires Unity3D and Python +3.6.

• Download a copy of this project.

• Install the required Python packages with pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Load TF Network and start socket server

python3 mainCli.py --drive ./examples/21-100-50-20-1-0_001-21SensorsTF/model

• Open the scene infinityRoad21 from ./simulation/sensorCar/Assets/Scenes/ with Unity and start it by pressing on the play button.

• Load the scene infinityRoad{3|21} from ./simulation/sensorCar/Assets/Scenes/ with Unity.

• Start the scene and manoeuvre the car with the ← , ↑ , → , ↓ keys.

• Press r to start the recording and then f to stop it again.

• Train a TF network

python3 mainCli.py --train ./examples/dataset21Sensors/ds21.txt \
--shape 21 100 50 20 1 --learningrate 0.001 --epochs 1000 --saveinterval 10
