ForzaETH Race Stack by the D-ITET Center for Project Based Learning (PBL) at ETH Zurich.

Accompanying this repository, a paper titled ForzaETH Race Stack - Scaled Autonomous Head-to-Head Racing on Fully Commercial off-the-Shelf Hardware is available on arXiv, detailing the system's architecture, algorithms, and performance benchmarks.

We provide an installation guide here.

After installation, the car (or the simulation environment) is ready to be tested. For examples on how to run the different modules on the car, refer to the stack_master README. As a further example, the time-trials or the head-to-head checklists are a good starting point.

In case you find our package helpful and want to contribute, please either raise an issue or directly make a pull request. To create pull request please follow the guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.

This project would not be possible without the use of multiple great open-sourced code bases as listed below:

• f1tenth_system
• F1TENTH Racecar Simulator
• Veddar VESC Interface
• Cartographer
• Cartographer ROS Integration
• global_racetrajectory_optimization
• RangeLibc
• BayesOpt4ROS
• cpu_monitor
