Lord of the roads
Team "Lord of the Roads" hails from the north of the Netherlands and consists of twelve driven students from the University of Groningen (RUG), Hanze University of Applied Sciences, and Noorderpoort. With backgrounds in Artificial Intelligence, Systems and Control, Biomedical Engineering, and ICT Software Engineering, the team brings together a powerful combination of knowledge and skills. Their multidisciplinary expertise allows them to tackle every aspect of autonomous vehicles and maximize their technological potential.
The Power of Collaboration
What makes this team unique is its diversity and teamwork. By approaching challenges from multiple perspectives, they find smart and innovative solutions. From hardware to software, from sensors to control systems – every detail is optimized to create the most efficient autonomous vehicle possible.
Focused on the Future
Participating in the Self Driving Challenge 2025 is a unique opportunity to put their knowledge into practice and push the boundaries of autonomous driving alongside other teams. Team "Lord of the Roads" firmly believes that autonomous transport is the future and is determined not just to witness it but to actively shape it.
On the Hunt for Victory
Last year, the team secured an impressive second place in the Open Category. This year, the goal is crystal clear: to take home the victory! With a determined approach and continuous improvements to their autonomous vehicle, they are fully committed to dominating the competition.
The Vehicle: "Lord of the Roads"
The team's car, aptly named "Lord of the Roads," is a high-tech vehicle based on a Renault Twizy, sponsored by robotTUNER. Equipped with radar and cameras and soon featuring an advanced LIDAR sensor, this vehicle is ready to deliver top performance. Thanks to this sensor technology, the car can perceive its surroundings even better and optimally adapt to the track.
Smart Task Division for Maximum Performance
One of the biggest challenges is effectively distributing tasks within the multidisciplinary team. By working in subteams, multiple problems can be tackled simultaneously, resulting in a streamlined and optimized vehicle. Each team member contributes their expertise, continuously refining "Lord of the Roads."
Team "Lord of the Roads" is ready. Ready to innovate, perform, and win. The Self Driving Challenge 2025 is their race – and they are going all in!
