Use Your Skills and Make a Big Impact in a Positive Way
As an automotive semiconductor supplier, our safe, secure automotive and industrial technologies power cars today and drive autonomous vehicles of the future.The same technologies are in demand for industrial-grade drones, rovers and other small autonomous vehicles.
Use them to create your own self-driving robot for NXP Cup.
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!
