Build Your Own Autonomous Race Car
A fully autonomous RC race car powered by NVIDIA Jetson, trained with reinforcement learning, and equipped with computer vision. Built from scratch in our 3-day workshops.
The GOAT Racer is a complete autonomous racing platform designed for learning and competition
Uses reinforcement learning trained in NVIDIA Omniverse. The AI learns optimal racing lines through thousands of simulated laps before ever hitting the real track.
Intel RealSense depth cameras and RGB sensors provide real-time environmental awareness. Processes visual data at 30+ FPS for instant decision-making.
NVIDIA Jetson edge computing runs neural networks onboard. No cloud connection needed—all AI processing happens directly on the car at the edge.
Complete virtual replica in NVIDIA Omniverse enables safe training and testing. Sim-to-real transfer lets robots learn in simulation and execute in reality.
VESC motor controllers provide precise speed and steering control. LiDAR sensors add 360-degree environmental mapping for advanced navigation.
Monitor speed, steering angle, sensor data, and AI decisions live over wireless connection. Debug and optimize performance in real-time during runs.

What you'll learn in our 3-day workshop
Assemble the RC chassis, mount the Jetson compute module, install cameras and LiDAR, wire the VESC motor controller, and set up the power distribution system. Learn the anatomy of an autonomous vehicle.
Flash Jetson with Ubuntu and JetPack SDK, install ROS2 and dependencies, configure camera and sensor drivers, set up networking and SSH access. Get your development environment ready.
Calibrate cameras, implement computer vision algorithms, process depth data in real-time, build object detection pipelines. See what your robot sees and teach it to understand the world.
Configure VESC parameters, implement PID control loops, tune steering and throttle response, add safety limits. Make your robot move precisely and predictably.
Build a virtual replica in NVIDIA Omniverse, import the track environment into IsaacSim, create physics simulations. Set up your training ground for AI development.
Implement reinforcement learning algorithms, train navigation models in simulation, deploy trained AI to physical robot, test and optimize performance. Watch your robot learn to race.
Join our next 3-day workshop and build your own GOAT Racer from scratch. All materials included, expert mentorship provided, and you take your robot home.
