The results will form the foundation of PCD&F’s editorial coverage in 2009. NEW! TUESDAY KEYNOTE ADDRESS 11 am – 12 pm in Salon A/B Bringing Design to Life Speaker: Dr. Chris Urmson, Carnegie Mellon University The use of semiconductors to improve all aspects of the driving experience—from safety, entertainment, navigation and even steering—is on the rise. In this exciting keynote, “Boss” inventor Dr. Chris Urmson will discuss the challenges and solutions in building such an extremely complex automobile. He will include details of the DARPA Urban Challenge, describe Boss’s overall system architecture and highlight the vehicle’s many component technologies. Boss is a Chevy Tahoe with more than 300,000 lines of code, capable of autonomously navigating in town and in traffic. It is equipped with more than a dozen lasers, cameras and radar systems to view the world. Chris Urmson is director of technology for the Urban Challenge Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He was previously a robotics research scientist with SAIC. He developed several robotic navigation architectures and software systems currently in use by Carnegie Mellon University, NASA JPL and NASA Ames. He has made significant contributions to robot development with an emphasis on software development and system integration. He has a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon and a B.S. in computer engineering from the University of Manitoba.
