Title:

YOUTH - Dhanvin Kolhatkar

Agreement Number:

922663

Agreement Value:

$30,000.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 15, 2019 - Feb 28, 2020

Description:

This project aims at the development of smarter sensors to improve both (a) their reliability and (b) their ability to extract the higher level information required for the deployment of self-driving cars. More specifically, in the context of this project, we intend to develop more competitive radar solutions that will integrate advanced features not available in current radar sensor technology. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence and in particular deep neural networks (DNN), has drastically improved the performance of many sensors such as laser scanners and cameras. Our objective is therefore to develop an embedded solution that will allow radars to produce more accurate information.
