Sessions

Introduction

Simon Thompson
TIER IV, Inc

Welcome and Introduction to Autoware as a Research Platform

Session I: A Tale of Two Open-Source Ecosystems: Scaling Autonomy with AutoDRIVE and Autoware

Tanmay Samak and Chinmay Samak
Clemson University

Autonomous vehicle platforms of varying spatial scales are employed within the research and development spectrum based on space, safety, and monetary constraints. However, deploying and validating autonomy algorithms across varying operational scales presents challenges due to scale-specific dynamics, sensor integration complexities, computational constraints, regulatory considerations, environmental variability, interaction with other traffic participants, and scalability concerns. In such a milieu, we present AutoDRIVE Ecosystem, a unified framework for modeling and simulating digital twins of autonomous vehicle platforms across different scales and operational design domains (ODDs) to help support the streamlined development and validation of autonomy software stacks. Particularly, we discuss the adoption of autonomy-oriented digital twins to deploy the Autoware stack to achieve the ODD-specific objective(s) for various vehicles. Finally, we also discuss the flexibility of the proposed framework to support virtual, hybrid, as well as physical testing with seamless sim2real transfer.

Session II: Pix Platforms and Autoware Integration – Experience from Posnan University of Technology

Maciej Krupka
Posnan University of Technology

This tutorial is intended for first-time users of Autoware and provides a practical introduction to working with the PixKit/Pixloop platform. It will begin with an overview of Pixmoving’s ecosystem, followed by a step-by-step walkthrough led by members of the Autoware CoE community. The session will cover essential aspects of deploying Autoware on the vehicle, including workspace setup, installation, teleoperation, sensor calibration, and diagnostic tools offering a strong foundation for future development and research using this platform.

Session III: Agnocast: Autoware Finally Achieves True Zero-Copy Publish/Subscribe IPC with a New Middleware

Takahiro Ishikawa-Aso
TIER IV, Inc

Autoware has failed to introduce true zero-copy Inter Process Communication (IPC), despite the existence of the de-facto standard middleware: IceOryx. This is because the Autoware implementation heavily depends on unsized message types (e.g., those including std::vector as properties), although existing IPC techniques—including IceOryx—cannot achieve true zero-copy IPC for such ROS 2 message types. Throughout the codebase, Autoware uses unsized message types due to its design principles and its reliance on the ROS 2 ecosystem, where unsized message types are also widely used.

To address this problem, Agnocast, a new middleware designed to coexist with ROS 2, was developed. The Agnocast paper was accepted to ISORC 2025, and its production version has been integrated into Autoware. This tutorial introduces the principles behind Agnocast, details the integration process with Autoware, and explains how to use Agnocast in your own ROS 2 project.

Session IV: BeamNG Physics based Simulator and Autoware

Alexander Carballo
Gifu University

BeamNG is a physics based simulator used widely in racing car games. By modelling the physics of the vehicles and the environment, BeamNG allows realistic driving behaviour in various weather conditions and road surfaces. In this tutorial I report on our efforts to integrate the simulator with the Autoware autonomous driving stack, including the use of ROS2 bridge developed by our team at Gifu University.  We provide detailed instructions on how to set up the Simulator, the bridge and Autoware to facilitate realistic driving behaviour for Autonomous Driving research and development.. 

Session V: CR2AW: CommonRoad Planning Benchmark Framework and Autoware

Tobias Mascetta
Technical University of Munich

CR2AW extends Autoware by providing a rapid prototyping platform for motion planning researchers, which allows users to effortlessly transfer their algorithms from a simulation environment (CommonRoad) to a real vehicle (Autoware). Our code is open-source and we are currently running successfully on our TUM research vehicle EDGAR. CR2Autoware has already been used successfully by researchers for real-world experiments in multiple publications, including top-tier journals.

Session VI: AutoSeg – an open-source Vision Foundation model by Autoware Foundation

Zain Khawaja
Autoware Foundation

Autoware Foundation is proud to present AutoSeg, an open-source Vision Foundation model for autonomous driving. The AutoSeg Vision Foundation model has been designed and trained entirely in-house by Autoware Foundation exclusively using open-source datasets and we have publicly released all source code, model weights and training pipeline details. Our Vision Foundation model is highly efficient, enabling deployment on edge devices and covers a broad array of perceptual tasks essential for autonomous driving across multiple use-cases including depth estimation, general purpose scene understanding as well as end-to-end path prediction. We will present the details of our network architecture and training pipeline, as well as share insights on how we combined multiple open-source datasets into a unified schema to train our network. We will also describe how you can easily utilize AutoSeg in your autonomous driving applications and showcase some real-world examples where AutoSeg is being deployed by large industry players.

The post Autoware Workshop at the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV 2025) appeared first on Autoware.

The main theme of this workshop, which we refer to as SE4ADS, is the exchange of ideas regarding the establishment of a community-wide infrastructure for facilitating research in the area of software engineering for autonomous driving systems. In support of that theme, SE4ADS provides a forum for practitioners and researchers to (1) share ideas and potential solutions regarding tools, libraries, benchmarks, and datasets that should belong to the infrastructure; (2) explore issues and challenges related to such research; (3) discuss mechanisms for enabling and facilitating tool availability, reusability, and interoperability in that research area; and (4) determine solutions for replicating or reproducing experiments and analyses in the workshop’s target research area. SE4ADS will help forge a new research community and create new collaborations.

The goals of the workshop are as follows:

1. Converge on requirements and challenges for a self-sustainable, community-based research infrastructure to support software engineering for ADS. An increasingly growing number of tools and methodologies have been produced for designing, implementing, testing, analyzing, and maintaining ADSes. These tools and methodologies may have mismatched assumptions; be inaccessible, unsupported, or unmaintained while still implementing ideas useful for researchers or practitioners; or may even support different perspectives on how to construct and maintain ADSes. One of the major goals of SE4ADS is to gather researchers and practitioners together to obtain different views as to how to manage and unify these tools—and determine the best means for converging the most useful tools and datasets among them to produce a community-wide infrastructure to facilitate reusable, replicable, and reproducible software engineering research for ADS.
2. Uniting the software engineering for ADS community. The workshop will provide the opportunity for software engineering researchers who study ADSes, as well as educators and industrial practitioners, to build a community that leverages both novel and previously existing software engineering tools, techniques, and datasets in order to tackle problems that are slowing or blocking progress for the software engineering for ADS community.
3. Construct a repository of ADS-specific baselines, benchmarks, and datasets. As part of a shared community-wide infrastructure, workshop participants will discuss issues regarding the need to construct and maintain baselines, benchmarks, and datasets containing bug-fix pairs, reusable test cases, and reusable driving scenarios. Through the workshop, participants will aid in the generation and subsequent launch of a community-wide standard of ADS artifacts that enable meaningful, objective comparison of research techniques.
4. Determine mechanisms needed to support ADS construction and maintenance for industrial researchers and practitioners. The immediate needs of academic researchers and educators do not necessarily coincide with or support the needs of industry practitioners and researchers. To address this issue, a major goal of SE4ADS is to solicit feedback from industrial practitioners and researchers to determine the mechanisms, features, and desirable properties of a community-wide infrastructure for ADS-oriented software engineering.
