Welcome! Our GitHub organization is the home to all projects and repositories associated with Neobotics Foundation Inc., along with the broader community discussions and support.
Our goal is to build a practical, well-documented, and accessible racecar that is easy to use, easy to contribute to, and an educational tool for students and researchers alike.
Whether you’re here to use our software, learn from it, or contribute, you’re in the right place!
The NeoRacer is designed to be both a benchmark platform for autonomous vehicle research and a flagship system for self-driving education.
It faithfully replicates real-world road scenarios at scale, enabling students and researchers to understand, test, and validate the full autonomous driving stack, from perception and planning to control and deployment.
