Title

How new Development of Autonomous Systems will shape the future?

Abstract

 

During the last 15 years, we have seen significant progress in many areas related to sensing, navigation, control, planning and machine learning. Fundamental research contributions in these areas have enabled the development and deployment of autonomous system. This keynote will present the fundamental problems that have been solved to enable the successful deployment of robotic automation in industrial environments. It will also present current projects in the intelligent transport system area and an overview of the fundamental research challenges facing future autonomous applications in more complex scenarios, such as urban vehicle automation.
