Theme: Open Source Self-Driving Development Platform Hacking

Key Words: FIVE Days/ TEN Engineers/ TWO Groups/TWO-mile Park Road Test/TWO Self-driving Vehicles

What’s In There:

  • Move-it Hackathon is a five-day hands-on workshop during which ten talented engineers (divided into two groups) worldwide collaborate with each other to build an affordable (within $10K excluding various sensors) drive-by-wire development platform for self-driving. Move-it Hackathon is joined hands with Stockholm full-stack hacker Bogdan Djukic whose self-driving hacking article gives great insights into this field.
  • On the last day, there will be a small and fun race between the two groups. The whole hackathon process and outputs will be open to the public in various ways.
  • Meanwhile, the most special and unique experiences are created for global engineers: collaborative development, fabrication workshop, social parties, keynote speech, mentor communication and local exploration etc.. You are bound to get inspired.

What To Hack:

  • Hacking of car control, both lateral and longitudinal controls, to achieve drive-by-wire
  • Self-driving setup and test of 1/16 scale car powered by Raspberry Pi
  • Installation and test run of self-driving software Autoware on full-sized car

Where: C-Zone Hackspace, Guiyang, Guizhou, China

When: March 9th to March 13th 2018 (Five days)

C-Zone Hackspace With Digital Manufacturing Equipment and Robot Assistant

Move-it Speakers & Mentors (more potential mentors are making their final confirmation):

  • Chris Anderson(participate remotely): CEO of 3D Robotics. Founder of the DIY Drones and DIY Robocars communities. Writer of Long Tail, FREE and Makers. Ten years as Chief Editor of Wired Magazine. The Most Influential Minds In Technology (2013)
  • Prof. Yoshiki NINOMIYA: Institute of Innovation for Future Society, Nagoya University. CFO of Tier IV, which maintains open source software Autoware. 20+ years Engineering Experience in car industry.

The ultimate goal of Move-It Hackathon is to co-create an open, democratized, affordable and reliable by-wire control development platform for self-driving. More details can be found here
