An interesting article on UM-Dearborn’s news.

UM-Dearborn’s robotics faculty talk about how public expectations for robots are often out of sync with realities of the technology. But that shouldn’t stunt our optimism about the field’s future.

KOCSEA co-hosted the Joint Conference on AI in Smart Cities. As president of KOCSEA, I am happy to announce the conference was very successful.

I have a new grant from the Institute for Information and Communications Technology Promotion (IITP) as a Korea-US International Joint Research Project. The project title is “Cooperative Perception and Navigation for Multiple Vehicles Using Deep Neural Network.” The project will complete by May 2021.

MIDAS (Michigan Institute for Data Science) held Faculty Research Pitch on September 9 from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM.

I presented my research on cognitive autonomous vehicles.

My research proposal, “Markerless 3D Human Motion Inference Framework from 2D Videos using Deep Learning,” has been selected for funding. This project is scheduled to start in May 2020 and end in December 2021.

A new project, “Development of Autonomous Vehicle Research Platform using Deep Learning and Robot Operating System” has been approved. This project is sponsored by the Institute for Information & Communication Technology Promotion (IITP), Korea.

This project is the 2nd phase of a project that was conducted at Kettering University from July 2019 to December 2019.
