What kind of experience is it to "code" the national first prize in the freshman year.
Recently, Li Xiaolong, a 2022 undergraduate student majoring in artificial intelligence in the Department of Computing of Harbin Institute of Technology, won the first prize in the Robot Application Competition (Autonomous Driving**) of the 25th China Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition.
The first time I was introduced to programming, I didn't participate in the competition to win a prize
According to the official *** report of Harbin Institute of Technology, Li Xiaolong was first exposed to programming when he was doing a freshman project. At that time, he searched for information on the Internet, accumulated relevant knowledge such as databases and edge-cloud collaboration when he Xi relevant courses, and also allowed him to meet teammates who participated in the competition later.
Why did he sign up for the 25th China Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition, Li Xiaolong said: "I saw the introduction of the competition, and I thought it was very interesting and amazing. And the purpose of his competition is to "Xi deeply" programming, not to win prizes.

The daily life of building dreams with "code".
For him, who has no experience, from the beginning of signing up for the competition, his daily routine has become reading, writing, changing, learning Xi various professional knowledge, and learning professional Xi.
For several months in a row, from the first line** to 700,000 lines**, Li Xiaolong and his teammates did not find it boring, but enjoyed it.
The preliminary competition requires contestants to complete the development and debugging of 7 questions within one month, simulate real road scenarios, and develop an intelligent vehicle system that can carry out autonomous driving in a virtual city environment. The competition involves disciplines such as artificial intelligence, unmanned driving and virtuality, as well as the operation mechanism and architecture of modules such as high-precision map, positioning, perception, planning and control.

Li Xiaolong recalled the preliminary competition: When writing the 7th question, there was a pointer error, and they had to search for several nights in the vast ** at that time, and the feeling of looking for a needle in a haystack was really unforgettable.
The hardest part of the competition is also related to this, once a certain ** in a certain scene is wrong, it can lead to a domino effect, causing the previous efforts to be undone.
So, in the finals, they added enough restrictions to each scene that they would rather be a little more troublesome than reinvent the wheel.
The hard work paid off, and in the final finals, they stood out and won the first prize.

He prefers "why" to "what"? After the competition, he took a series of courses related to mathematics, such as the mystery of machine hearing, mathematical modeling methods, software development, AIGC and intelligent Internet of Things, etc., laying a solid foundation for future Xi research in the field of AI. At present, he is actively preparing for the "Carsmos International Autonomous Driving Algorithm Challenge", the only open-source challenge in the global autonomous driving competition. Finally, we also wish him to enjoy the game while continuing to dream of "yards" and play his own highlight moments.
