Conference Programme - WEDNESDAY, September 2

  • 08:00-08:45 REGISTRATION and COFFEE at the EMMTEC building

  • 08:45-09:00 OPENING: Adriana Tapus, Tom Duckett

  • 09:00-10:10 KEYNOTE TALK 1
    • Ingmar Posner
      Learning on the Job: Autonomy Based on Experience
      • The Oxford RobotCar Project aims to provide robust, long-term autonomous driving at a price point suitable for mass-market adoption. At its core, however, lies a philosophy fundamentally different to that fuelling more conventional autonomous driving research: autonomy when offered, as opposed to on demand. In this talk we will motivate this philosophy and provide an overview of the technology underlying our approach to autonomous driving and beyond.
