Seminario - New challenges of Artificial Intelligence in the Automotive field

Giorno 24/2 ore 12 presso l'Aula G del DMI, l'Ing. Francesco Rundo STMicroelectronics srl - ADG Central R&D Division, terrà un seminario dal titolo "New challenges of Artificial Intelligence in the Automotive field"

Abstract: With the advent of the electric car and modern artificial intelligence systems, there has been a significant innovative acceleration both in the electro-mechanical part of the vehicle and in the design of the intelligent driving monitoring systems. From predictive maintenance and battery management systems to driving understanding, vehicle-to-vehicle safe-communication and car driver monitoring pipelines, today modern deep learning architectures have confirmed to be more than adequate to effectively address these topics, significantly contributing to progress in the automotive field. This seminar will illustrate the state of the art in the mentioned fields as well as some future challenges in the automotive scenario which can be reached thanks to new solutions based on modern AI-based technologies.
