Presentation Details:
We have all heard about intelligent transportation systems and new types of vehicles such as the Google driverless car, the semi-autonomous Tesla. Many of the major companies expect to have products on the market within 5-7 years. There is no doubt the new types of vehicles will have a major impact on many aspects of our daily lives. Will you still own a car? How will it impact my commute? Can we optimize our infrastructure? What are new types of services? In this presentation we will discuss the future implications of intelligent transportation systems and also discuss how Atlanta might become a major player in this space.

Dr. Henrik I. Christensen is the KUKA Chair of Robotics at the College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology. He is also the executive director of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM). Dr. Christensen does research on systems integration, human-robot interaction, mapping and robot vision. The research is performed within the Cognitive Robotics Laboratory. He has published more than 300 contributions across AI, robotics and vision. His research has a strong emphasis on "real problems with real solutions". A problem needs a theoretical model, implementation, evaluation, and translation to the real world. He is actively engaged in the setup and coordination of robotics research in the US (and worldwide). Dr. Christensen received the Engelberger Award 2011, the highest honor awarded by the robotics industry. He was also awarded the "Boeing Supplier of the Year 2011" with 3 other colleagues at Georgia Tech. Dr. Christensen is a fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). He recieved an honorary doctorate in engineering from Aalborg University 2014. He collaborates with institutions and industries across three continents. His research has been featured in major media such as CNN, NY Times, BBC, ...
