2022 IEEE TECHNICAL FIELD AWARDS
IEEE Robotics and Automation Award
Sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
Wolfram Burgard
For contributions to the fundamentals
and applications of robot navigation
and perception
A pioneer of robust and adaptive techniques for robot perception,
navigation, and manipulation, Wolfram Burgard has addressed challenges
facing autonomous mobile robotics applications ranging from
vacuum cleaners to self-driving cars. Burgard led the original contributions
pertaining to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
and robot learning, resulting in algorithms including the grid-based
FastSLAM. His g2o tool is one of the most efficient solvers for SLAM
issues facing autonomous systems. He developed several robots that
operated robustly in challenging real-world environments, including
Rhino and Minerva, which acted as interactive museum tour guides;
Obelix, which autonomously navigated like a pedestrian through the
city of Freiburg, Germany; and a self-driving car that could navigate
through a complex parking garage and park itself.
An IEEE Fellow, Burgard is a professor with the Department
of Computer Science at the University of Freiburg, Baden, Wurttemberg,
Germany.
IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award
Sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
Paul John Werbos
For development of backpropagation
and fundamental contributions to
reinforcement learning and time series
analysis
Among the first researchers to realize the power of bio-inspired
learning techniques to train neural networks in real time, Paul
John Werbos' development of backpropagation algorithms provided
the backbone of reinforcement and deep learning methods
for solving today's complex tasks. Backpropagation allows training
of neural network data online and in real time by using gradients
computed backward through the layers of the neural network. His
leadership of the Adaptive and Intelligent Systems group at the
U.S. National Science Foundation enhanced the ability of countless
researchers to contribute to prediction and control of systems
ranging from nanorobots to the electric power grid. His work has
made possible many advances in areas including electric vehicles
and speech, face, and handwriting recognition applications.
An IEEE Fellow, Werbos is program director (retired) with the
National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA, USA.
IEEE Frederik Philips Award
Sponsored by Royal Philips
Yuh-Jier Mii and Cliff Hou
For leadership in developing industry-leading foundry logic process technologies
and open innovation design platforms
The leadership of Yuh-Jier Mii and Cliff Hou at Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has been instrumental
in the rapid growth of smart phone and mobile computing
applications and has opened tremendous opportunities in
high-performance computing and artificial intelligence markets.
They have molded TSMC into one of the most trusted providers
of leading-edge CMOS logic technologies and design platforms
allowing continued scaling into deep nanometer technology
nodes. The game-changing strategies they developed, including
the Open Innovation Platform, have enabled a thriving and symbiotic
ecosystem for collaborative global semiconductor technology
and product design innovation to provide some of the most
powerful developments in the nanoelectronics industry that are
improving productivity, education, infotainment, healthcare, and
social networking.
An IEEE member, Mii is senior vice president of Research and
Development with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
Ltd., Hsinchu, Taiwan.
An IEEE member, Hou is senior vice president of Europe and
Asia Sales and Corporate Research, Research and Development,
with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.,
Hsinchu, Taiwan.
