Abstract:
Tremendous progress has been made in computing systems recently, providing us with a unique opportunity to leverage the information about the computing architecture and hardware in real time. Much of our technological solutions -- such as those enabling autonomous operations -- demand fast and accurate computation. This talk focuses on the challenges, solutions, and opportunities for the development of autonomous systems, particularly those required for self-driving cars and aviation systems.
Recientemente, se ha logrado un tremendo avance en los sistemas informáticos, brindándonos una oportunidad única para aprovechar la información sobre la arquitectura informática y el hardware en tiempo real. Muchas de nuestras soluciones tecnológicas, como las que permiten operaciones autónomas, exigen cálculos rápidos y precisos. Esta charla se centra en los desafíos, soluciones y oportunidades para el desarrollo de sistemas autónomos, en particular aquellos necesarios para los automóviles autónomos y sistemas de aviación.
Short bio:
Ricardo G. Sanfelice is Professor and Department Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California at Santa Cruz, CA, USA. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 2004 and 2007, respectively, from the University of California, Santa Barbara. During 2007 and 2008, he was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and visited the Centre Automatique et Systemes at the Ecole de Mines de Paris for four months. Prof. Sanfelice is the recipient of the 2013 SIAM Control and Systems Theory Prize, the National Science Foundation CAREER award, the Air Force Young Investigator Research Award, the 2010 IEEE Control Systems Magazine Outstanding Paper Award, the 2012 STAR Higher Education Award for his contributions to STEM education, and the 2020 ACM Test-of-Time Award from the HSCC. He is Associate Editor for Automatica, a Fellow of the IEEE, and has served as Chair of the Hybrid Systems Technical Committee from the IEEE Control Systems Society. He coauthored articles selected as finalists for the Best Student Paper Award (2014, 2019, and 2022) at the American Control Conference (ACC) and the International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE). He is Director of the Cyber-Physical Systems Research Center at UCSC and Director of the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) Aviation Initiative. His research interests are in modeling, stability, robust control, observer design, and simulation of nonlinear and hybrid systems with applications to robotics, power systems, aerospace, and biology.
