Autonomous Tamiya RC truck with wireless charging (ROS/Jetson TX2)



A self-driving system developed with Linux & ROS on an NVIDIA Jetson TX2, to demonstrate dynamic inductive charging from the road. The sensor package consists of a lidar and camera. Hector SLAM is used for mapping and localization. Pure Pursuit is used to follow a manually recorded path. Machine-learning and behavior cloning is used to make the vehicle drive with camera only. Recorded camera images and steering input were used as training data to a deep neural network. The truck is controlled with PWM-signals from a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller. There are four different driving modes; manual, record new path, lidar/SLAM-mode, and AI-mode. The truck has an onboard induction charger system that talks with the TX2 through CAN-bus. There is also a custom GUI to monitor the states of the truck and battery.

Legendary RC car returns with updates! Tamiya VQS 2020 4WD off-road buggy video review by RC Driver



Tamiya continues to bring back some classic kits that old school RC fans really want, the latest the Vanquish, but as the VQS. The Tamiya VQS is very closely based on the Vanquish, but has a few tweaks to bring it up to 2020 specs. Sure you still get that sleek buggy styling, the unique 4wd driveline, the streamline suspension set-up and tires that can tear up a dirt field. But the changes are in the name, electronics, and a few other tweaks. If you remember the Vanquish and always wanted one, you need to check out the VQS. If you’re just into unique RC cars and fun building experiences, then the VQS is right for you too. In this video, Greg goes over the details of the buggy and takes it out for a drive in the dirt. By the end of the video you’ll see this fun all around RC kit perfect for any Tamiya fan!
