Technical Seminar: Adopting Autonomous Vehicle at HKUST

Date, time & venue

2022-07-15; 6:30pm-8:00pm; Webinar via Zoom; Jointly organized with ITD

Programme Highlights

The first autonomous vehicle (AV) trial without an operator on board in Hong Kong commenced in late 2020 on the HKUST Clearwater Bay Campus. Equipped with technologies such as all-terrain 3D mapping and large-scale visual and sensor navigation, the vehicle can plan its route after collecting data on the road and can detect on-road obstacles. The AV has successfully passed two stages of the trial and will eventually be used to deliver food and mail throughout the campus. In this technical seminar, Prof Wang will talk about adopting autonomous vehicle in HKUST.

Language

The workshop will be conducted in English and Cantonese.
