IEEE AISS

IEEE Academia-Industry Summer School (AISS) on “Towards Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence (AI)-empowered Autonomy”
20-24 November 2023, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia

The IEEE AISS provides participants knowledge into the intersection of innovative AI technologies and autonomy, covering both concepts and hand-on examples in designing and developing autonomous driving systems.

The team of instructors have extensive expertise in research and development, and are all well-versed in teaching and hands-on system design, development, testing and prototyping of autonomous driving systems.  Specifically, a pool of experienced researchers/practitioners in deep learning, robot operating system (ROS), software development, system architecture, and mechatronic engineering will present and illustrate different aspects of autonomous driving systems.  In addition, four leading professors and expert speakers, who are amongst the world leaders in their respective fields, will be invited to share knowledge and experience.

The IEEE AISS will be organised in parallel (in the second day) with the International Defence and Security (IDEaS) Symposium 2023 https://ieeeideas.org, whereby AISS participants will have the opportunity to learn and exchange notes with industrial speakers and audience from various organisations, ranging from multi-national corporations, small-medium enterprises, to start-ups.

The full program for IDEaS can be found https://ieeeideas.org
