NXP CUP EMEA 2021 Is Going Virtual
New challenges require innovate thinking. NXP Cup will follow a hybrid approach to safeguard your well-being. See our concept and how you can participate. Spoiler alert! The tires are not spared in this season either...
Make Your Own Self-Driving Robot
Just like an autonomous vehicle, your car will sense, think and act. Using a camera sensor integrated with the motor control system, your vehicle will sense its environment and autonomously navigate and propel through the race course.
The low-cost entry kit comes equipped with NXP components that are used in cars on the road today. All you need is basic embedded software programming and circuitry knowledge and the willingness to learn!
