The NXP Cup experience
Watch this quick video to see what it's like to be a part of NXP's autonomous vehicle competition.
Our CTO on the NXP Cup: A succinct overview
“The technology, university support and the incredible partner ecosystem give students opportunities to learn key collaborative teamwork skills and become familiar with core technologies to build autonomous robots.”
- Lars Reger, CTO, NXP
NXP Cup 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.
