University of Windsor students gear up for Robotic Racing competition-Robot racing encourages automation research

Inside the sensor lab at the University of Windsor, two teams of students are putting the finishing touches on a pair of robotic cars so smart, they don’t need drivers.

The vehicles will be entered in the sixth annual Robotic Racing competition, to be held in July at the St. Denis Centre. The event draws teams from universities across Canada and the United States and awards $5,000 to the winners, said Siddantha Ahuja, organizer of the event.

Student develops ‘smart camera’

Check out the Windsor Star’s Coverage of the research here.

Award-winning research by a University of Windsor PhD student has produced smart camera technology that can increase assembly line efficiency, improve surveillance systems, replace controllers in computer games and help surgeons make precise incisions.

Siddhant Ahuja, a student in the university’s electrical and computer engineering department, recently won a $10,000 scholarship in an AUTO21-sponsored TestDRIVE competition, showcasing leading-edge technologies developed by graduate students across Canada.
