Join us and learn about our newest project which introduces state-of-the-art methods in autonomous systems, specifically machine vision, state estimation, control and planning.

Autonomous Navigation Systems

Autonomous Navigation Systems will have a major impact on many industries beyond self-driving personal vehicles, including e-commerce, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, healthcare and other service industries. Much of the recent progress is due to advances in machine learning and sensing components, such as cameras, lidars or ultra-wideband.

By signing up to this project, participants will learn how to:

• Design efficient, lightweight algorithms that predict in real time while accounting for hardware limitations
• Design systems that understand the environment and perform motion planning by integrating multiple sensors 
• Understand the limitations of these operating systems

For more details on the project’s structure and timeline, please refer the Autonomous Navigation Systems – Brochure

Facilitated by Angela Schoellig

Angela Schoellig is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies and a Faculty Member of the Vector Institute. She’s known for leading the team that won the North-American AutoDrive Challenge for four consecutive years, and for speaking at the 2020 and 2021 NeurIPS workshops. Angela has been recognized with numerous recognitions and awards, a few of which include the MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35, the Robohub’s 25 Women in Robotics you Need to Know About, and the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship in 2021.
