Autonomous Driving

PDSL is developing autonomous driving technology. There is nothing to say about why this technology is important. A car driving by itself, it just makes sense! We are particularly interested in the system platform for autonomous driving. It is composed of many sensors and actuators connected to computing engines including multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and ECUs. Some computing resources may also be offloaded to cloud services over the network. Topics of particular interest at PDSL include:

  • Heterogeneous computing platforms
  • GPU accelerations of perception and planning
  • Real-time computing cloud (cloud robotics)
  • Stream processing
  • Adaptive computing
  • Fault-tolerance
