Kettering Students to Compete in Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition

Kettering University students will design, develop, document, test and sell systems engineering projects as part of the annual Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IVGC) at Oakland University. The competition, which takes place June 4-7, features two challenges — the AutoNav Challenge and the Self Drive Challenge. With 13 students on the Kettering team, Bulldog has been working on its vehicle since Fall 2019. He worked on creating a model for object detection during the competition, including signs, potholes and mannequins to represent real people. Zadeh said he’s pleased with the team’s progress, and whatever the result of the competition, he knows the students learned a lot.
