ADLINK Powers Formula Student Team Delft’s Next‑Generation Autonomous Race Car, DUT26

ADLINK today announced its sponsorship and technical support for Formula Student Team Delft, one of the world’s leading student engineering teams. The collaboration supports the development of the team’s next autonomous electric race car, DUT26, with ADLINK’s new SBC35‑ARL single board computer selected as the vehicle’s Autonomous Processing Unit (APU). 

This year’s showcase integrates cutting-edge technologies from ADLINK’s global AI platform collaborators, including Intel, NVIDIA, MediaTek, NXP, AMD and Qualcomm Technology, Inc., highlighting ADLINK’s expertise in cross-architecture and cross-domain system integration. Furthermore, ADLINK will feature deep collaborations with AUO Display Plus for advanced display technologies and Noble Machines for the development and field deployment of humanoid robotics, presenting a comprehensive edge AI ecosystem spanning computing platforms, smart displays, and robotic applications.

Industrial‑grade computing for real‑time autonomy

The APU is responsible for running the full autonomous pipeline — from sensor ingestion to real‑time vehicle control. In DUT26, the SBC35‑ARL will enable low‑latency processing at the edge, supporting reliable autonomous operation in a demanding motorsport environment.

  • Receives data from sensors including lidar, cameras, IMU and GPS, and from vehicle networks
  • Runs advanced autonomy frameworks such as YOLO v11 for perception, graphSLAM for state estimation, and MPC for control
  • Outputs steering and torque setpoints that are transmitted via CAN to embedded control units for actuation
  • Designed to operate in real time with minimal latency — a critical requirement for autonomous racing

A partnership that advances education and innovation

Formula Student Team Delft, founded in 1999, is a multidisciplinary team of nearly 90 students from Delft University of Technology who design, build, and race a new electric race car each year. The program provides full‑cycle, hands‑on engineering experience — from research and simulation to manufacturing, integration, validation, and competition.

By partnering with the team, ADLINK supports next‑generation engineering education and accelerates innovation in autonomous mobility, giving students access to industrial‑grade edge computing for a real‑world validation platform.

Product highlight: ADLINK SBC35ARL

The SBC35‑ARL is ADLINK’s latest high‑performance single board computer designed for edge AI and embedded applications. In DUT26, it will serve as the central computer platform for autonomy, enabling high throughput sensor processing and deterministic control execution.

Quotes

“ADLINK is excited to enable the next generation of engineers to explore what’s possible with real‑time edge computing,” said Michael Wernaert, Sales Manager Benelux & UK at ADLINK. “Formula Student Team Delft embodies innovation, and we are proud that the SBC35‑ARL will power the autonomous intelligence of DUT26.”
 

“With ADLINK’s computing platform, we can push our autonomous stack further — processing sensor data, estimating state, and controlling the car in real time with minimal latency,” said Ziggy Beijer, Chief Embedded & Autonomous Software at Formula Student Team Delft.
