Engineering
Autonomy.
Location: MIT Bengaluru
Lab: CEAM Research
Status: System Initializing
MAHE Mobility Challenge is a high-stakes arena where the next generation of Autonomous Vehicle technology is forged.
The Vision
Through this challenge we wish to attract the best minds in the field of autonomous vehicles and provide them with a platform to showcase their talent and innovation.
The Collaboration
A joint initiative by the CEAM Research Lab (MIT Bengaluru's autonomous vehicle research centre), the Department of ECE, Harman Automotive and ArtPark IISc.
Choose Your Lane.
In collaboration with Harman AutomotiveAI in Mobility
Build the future of smart, connected vehicles.
Solve real-world problems like finding the best routes based on network strength, smartly delaying non-urgent notifications, and detecting wrong-way drivers to improve road safety.
In collaboration with ARTPARK, IIScRobotics
Build a self-driving robot. Write code that helps a robot "see" its environment and drive itself.
Round 1: Submit your proposal. Round 2: After an online workshop by ARTPARK, test your code in a virtual simulation. Round 3: Run your code on a physical robot during the offline event!
Vehicle Security & Fleet DefenseCybersecurity
Protect self-driving cars from hackers. Find and stop cyber attacks on vehicle networks.
Analyze vehicle data logs to spot unusual activity. Build systems that can detect and prevent attacks on car networks (like CAN bus) and inter-vehicle communication (V2X).
