　　一、主  题：Autonomous Driving in Daimler/Mercedes-Benz: Past, Present and Future.

　　二、主讲人：奔驰北美研发中心自动驾驶首席技术负责人 袁汀 博士

　　三、时　间：2019年3月4日（星期一）上午10:30

　　四、地　点：清水河校区宾诺咖啡

　　五、内容简介：

　　Autonomous driving poses unique challenges for real world vehicle systems due to the complex driving environment where the autonomous vehicle finds itself in and interacts itself with surrounding objects. We will talk about the motivation/understanding of autonomous driving from the point view of Mercedes-Benz and the current trend about autonomous driving in Silicon Valley. We will introduce different environment representations frameworks from heterogeneous automotive sensors e.g. Radar, stereo/mono camera and Lidar systems. The relevant state estimation algorithms, sensor fusion frameworks and the evaluation procedures with reference ground truth are presented in detail. An interesting glimpse of the data set obtained from a sensor configuration that would be used in the future Mercedes Benz autonomous vehicles will be shown. We try to elaborate the relationship in proper sensor setup, clean software architecture, and advanced algorithms for a satisfying autonomous vehicular settings and requirements. In particular, the start of the art technology for Autonomous Driving in China will be discussed.

　　六、主讲人简介：

　　Dr. Ting Yuan is a Senior Research Scientist at the Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA and principle Tech Lead for Autonomous Driving on China situations within the Autonomous Driving Department, where his fields of endeavor lie in detection, classification and tracking of moving/static objects using information from camera, Radar and Lidar systems, as well as data fusion for the multi-sensor systems. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA in 2013.
