Who we are
DeepSpeed is Nanyang Technological University's autonomous racing team. We design, build, and program 1:10 scale race cars that drive themselves — perception, planning, and control, all written in-house.
14 members across EEE, CCE, and MAE. One car. 8 hours a week, more before a race.

15th of 55 international teams and our first two head-to-head knockout wins — four days in Busan at the 29th RoboRacer competition, on a rebuilt car.
F1TENTH 101: a beginner's guide to autonomous racing
What the 1/10-scale platform is, what's bolted to the car, and how a LiDAR scan turns into a steering angle — the short version, for anyone starting out.
