Enhancing Localization, Perception, and Maneuvering of Intelligent Vehicles Through Connectivity
Date and Time: Wednesday, July 31, 2024: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Location: Indigo E

Director and Senior Principal Researcher, Toyota
Presentation Description
Intelligent vehicles rely on a combination or sensors to determine their location in the surrounding environment (localization), perceive surrounding objects (perception), and based on this understanding plan and execute their motion (maneuvering). Vehicle-to-everything communication enhances each of these processes for intelligent vehicles, allowing these connected vehicles to be more aware of their surrounding environment and to better navigate this environment. In this talk we highlight our research in cooperative localization, cooperative perception and cooperative maneuvering at Toyota InfoTech labs.
