Deep Learning for Autonomous Vehicle Control / Synthesis Lectures on Advances in Automotive Technology (PDF)

Sampo Kuutti received his MEng degree in mechanical engineering in 2017 from University of Surrey, Guildford, U.K., where he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in automotive engineering with the Connected Autonomous Vehicles Lab within the Centre for Automotive Engineering. His research interests include deep learning applied to autonomous vehicles, functional safety validation, and safety and interpretability in machine learning systems.Saber Fallah is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Vehicle and Mechatronic Systems at the University of Surrey and the Director of Connected Autonomous Vehicle Lab (CAVLAB) within the Centre for Automotive Engineering, where he leads several research activities funded by the UK and European governments (e.g., EPSRC, Innovate UK, H2020) in collaboration with major companies active in autonomous vehicle technologies. His research interests include reinforced deep learning, advanced control, optimization, and estimation and their applications to connected autonomous vehicles.Richard Bowden is Professor of computer vision and machine learning at the University of Surrey where he leads the Cognitive Vision Group within the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing. His research centers on the use of computer vision to locate, track, and understand humans. He is anassociate editor for the journals Image and Vision Computing and IEEE TPAMI. In 2013 he was awarded a Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship and is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a senior member of the IEEE, and a Fellow of the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR).Phil Barber was formerly Principal Technical Specialist in Capability Research at Jaguar Land Rover. For over 30 years in the automotive industry he has witnessed the introduction of computer controlled by-wire technology and been part of the debate over the safety issues involved in the implementation of real-time vehicle control.
