Er ist ein führender Wissenschaftler auf dem Gebiet des „autonomen Fahrens“. Als Autor von mehr als 350 wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen gilt er als eine der Schlüsselfiguren im Feld der Navigation und Perzeption der mobiler Roboter.
Für seine Arbeit erhielt er mit dem Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Preis 2009 die höchste deutsche Forschungsauszeichnung. Erst kürzlich wurde er als Empfänger des IEEE Technical Field Awards der Robotics and Automation Society bekannt gegeben, des höchsten technischen Preises in der Robotik.
Naomasa Yoshida: „Das automatisierte Fahren – Bedeutung und Herausforderungen in Japan“. Das automatisierte Fahren soll zur Verkehrssicherheit und Mobilitätsfreiheit beitragen. In Japan haben wir seit einigen Jahren juristisch und technisch auf diesem Gebiet große Fortschritte gemacht, auch wenn noch einige grundlegende Fragen zu beantworten sind. Bei meinem Vortrag werde ich den aktuellen Stand des automatisierten Fahrens sowie Initiativen der japanischen Regierung und Autohersteller vorstellen und auf zukünftige Herausforderungen eingehen.
Prof. Dr. Wolfram Burgard (Universität Freiburg, Computer Science, Autonome Intelligente Systeme): „Das automatisierte Fahren – Herausforderungen aus technischer und wissenschaftlicher Sicht“. In this presentation entitled Perception and Navigation Challenges for Self-Driving Cars I will discuss HD maps as one of the major tools but also limitations for self-driving cars. In particular, I will present deep learning methods for learning semantics and maps as well as a crowdsourcing approach for map change detection.
