Abstract
This paper presents the construction of an autonomous robot to participating in the autonomous driving competition of the National Festival of Robotics in Portugal, which relies on an open platform requiring basic knowledge of robotics, like mechanics, control, computer vision and energy management. The projet is an excellent way for teaching robotics concepts to engineering students, once the platform endows students with an intuitive learning for current technologies, development and testing of new algorithms in the area of mobile robotics and also in generating good team-building.
