What is the Autonomous Karting Series?
The Autonomous Karting Series (AKS) is a collegiate competition where university clubs design, build, and race their own autonomous go-karts. It's a platform for the brightest young minds to push the limits of robotics and self-driving technology.
The AKS grew out of the EV Grand Prix, born from a desire to get universities more involved in the field of autonomous racing. We listened to feedback from the teams themselves, which led us to evolve into a standalone competition dedicated to constant innovation.
Our unique approach minimizes the use of standardized components, which encourages teams to develop their own solutions and pursue diverse development paths. This ensures that the competition remains a cutting-edge showcase for new ideas and technologies.
