QCar TouchDrive

Featured in Quanser's Community Showcase. Mobile web teleoperation and live telemetry for physical QCar and QLabs.

QCar TouchDrive is a side project built to support QCar experiments through a simple mobile teleoperation interface. It connects a phone to a QCar host through a lightweight WebSocket interface, making remote driving more practical for demos, testing, and experimental workflows.

The system supports both the physical QCar and the QLabs virtual environment, with live telemetry, adjustable control parameters, and safety functions such as arm/disarm and emergency stop. It also supports secure cross-network access through Tailscale.

QCar TouchDrive mobile interface, QLabs setup, and secure networking through Tailscale.

Highlights:

  • Phone-based dual-joystick control for steering and throttle
  • Works with both physical QCar and QLabs
  • Live telemetry, control tuning, and CSV logging
  • Secure remote access through Tailscale
