embedded electronics

Embedded Electronics primary role is to ensure optimal performance and reliability by delivering critical sensor data to other groups. This group handle a comprehensive range of tasks, from developing custom Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) to writing and optimizing software for microcontrollers.

Additionally, the Embedded Electronics group is responsible for the entire wire harness of the racecar, integrating and securing all electronic connections.

power systems

Power Systems is the high-voltage group of Revolve NTNU. It is also where the electrical systems meet the mechanical world. After one year in this group, you will have hands-on experience with Solidworks CAD, high-voltage batteries, a variety of cooling solutions, and wire harness manufacturing.

aerodynamics

The Aerodynamics group works towards maximizing downforce by manipulating the airflow around the vehicle, which in turn increases traction and cornering velocities. They achieve this through design and manufacture of a lightweight Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) wing package.

The development process is iterated through a combination of 3D modeling in CAD (Computer Aided Design), CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, comprehensive analysis, and real-world testing to validate our simulations. Additionally, our aerodynamic setup includes structural elements that attach the aerodynamic components to the monocoque, designed using FEM (Finite Element Method) to ensure the optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio for each part's fiber layup.

chassis

The Chassis group is responsible for planning, designing, and producing the racecar’s monocoque. Constructed primarily from carbon fiber, the team ensures the seamless integration of all other systems, whether inserted into or attached to the monocoque.

The monocoque is developed using CAD (Computer Aided Design) in SolidWorks for precise modeling, Abaqus for strength and stiffness simulations, and FiberSim to optimize the carbon fiber layup. Factors such as weight, stiffness, and safety are some of the parameters the group must take into consideration while producing the monocoque.

suspension & Drivetrain

The Suspension & Drivetrain group is responsible for all parts connecting the racecar to the road. Everything that happens after the electric motors have started turning is purely mechanical, and a well tuned suspension system can be the difference between winning a race or spinning out due to loss of grip.

The system is based around our in-wheel design, where the motors are packed in the rim-center of each wheel, connected through the upright to the structural suspension. This keeps the chassis above ground, and directs driving forces to the in-board suspension translating heave and roll motion to get the best possible grip to the tarmac.

Building the suspension system requires a lot of fine tuning to get optimal traction, stability and driving dynamics.

driver interface

The group's main responsibility is to be the joint between the driver and the car. The systems under this group is all Ergonomics, Steering system, Pedal box and steering system.

Every system is acted on by the driver, and the feedback given to the driver is crucial for performance. The ergonomics create the seat, steering wheel and dashboard, While steering system creates the mechanical parts that translate rotation to lateral movement. The pedal box makes sure that the acceleration and deceleration input is smooth, responsive and reasonable.

control systems

The Control Systems group is committed to optimizing the performance of the racecar by applying control and estimation theories. It is determined to improving the handling, stability, and drivability of the vehicle, which is done using our Torque Vectoring (TV) control system.

Additionally, extensive modeling and simulation techniques is utilized to replicate real-world conditions and dynamics. This approach enables the group to conduct efficient testing and optimizations long before the racecar is produced and ready for action on the track.

data engineering

Data Engineering is responsible for developing and maintaining our data infrastructure. The importance of a well-structured data pipeline is critical, as it ensures that we maintain a competitive edge.

With over 300 sensors in our racecar, they depend on their own software solutions to visualise data from our racecar in real time. The vehicle performance relies heavily on what they learn from the data they acquire on track.

autonomous systems

The Autonomous Systems group is tasked with transforming the racecar into an intelligent, self-driving racecar. To achieve this, the racecar must possess the capability to perceive, comprehend, and adapt to its environment effectively.

The group develops the logic that serves as the racecar’s brain, employing advanced techniques like Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), controls, and path planning. This framework is integrated with with the vehicle’s sensory systems—receiving crucial data from sensors such as LiDAR which act as the racecar’s eyes and ears. Collectively, these technologies enable us to oversee all aspects of the car’s autonomous behavior, ensuring it can navigate and react in real-time to the racing environment.
