Formula Student is Europe’s most established educational engineering competition. Over 100 universities enter each year, aiming to develop practical engineering experience as well as soft skills including business planning and project management.
Edinburgh University Formula Student (EUFS) team saw great success again this year, winning the AI class and making FSUK history with their Autonomous Driving System (ADS) car. Bringing home the 2024 FS-AI Class overall prize adds to their trophy cabinet already bursting with 7 years’ success in different disciplines.
Steatite Computing were delighted to sponsor the team and provided an essential element in the winning EUFS car – the central computer which runs the self-driving software. A Cincoze DS-1202 computer processed data from sensors on the vehicle to calculate the optimal commands to send to the car.
The computer was chosen due to its robustness, reliability, and high performance. The unit is resistant to the extremes of temperature, shock, vibration, moisture, and dust, which was essential in ensuring the EUFS team were able to push the car to its limits (and beyond) without fear of hardware failure.
