Workloads

Open AD Kit is a workload based project, which means that it is designed to be deployed on a variety of platforms with microservices architecture. Each workload is designed to be independent and can be deployed on a variety of platforms.

Autoware Workloads

Sensing

The sensing workload is responsible for collecting data from the vehicle's sensors. Sensing workload can be configured to collect data from a variety of sensors, including cameras, lidars, and radars. For more details on the Autoware sensing design document.

Perception

The perception workload is responsible for processing the data from the vehicle's sensors and creating a map of the environment. Perception workload can be configured to use a variety of perception algorithms, including object detection, tracking, and mapping. For more details on the Autoware perception design document.

Mapping

The mapping workload is responsible for creating a map of the environment. Mapping workload can be configured to use a variety of mapping algorithms, including occupancy grid mapping and point cloud mapping. For more details on the Autoware mapping design document.

Localization

The localization workload is responsible for determining the vehicle's position in the map. Localization workload can be configured to use a variety of localization algorithms, including GPS, IMU, and visual odometry. For more details on the Autoware localization design document.

Planning

The planning workload is responsible for planning the vehicle's path. Planning workload can be configured to use a variety of planning algorithms, including Route Planning, Goal Planning, and Behavior Planning. For more details on the Autoware planning design document.

Control
