GALLOIS AUTONOMOUS ROBOT COMPETITION, scheduled to take place on Friday April 26, 2024 at Stevens Institute of Technology. This event is taking place as part of the (https://www.stevens.edu/stevens-innovation-expo) This event promises to be an enriching experience, offering students the chance to witness cutting-edge advancements in robotics, engage with University students, and gain insights into the latest trends and technologies. It aligns perfectly with academic goals and will provide valuable exposure to real-world applications of robotics. Registration: Is below. We ask that the teacher that is bringing the students register and include the number of students that will be attending. This event is for High School (9-12 grade) students. A teach must accompany the students Here are a few key points regarding the activity: Educational Value: The event can include a talk from one of IEEE speakers at Hoboken High School focused on providing students a deeper understanding of robotics technology. Inspiration for Future Careers & Education: Experiencing the event firsthand can inspire our students and ignite their passion for robotics or a STEM field, encouraging them to consider related fields for further studies and careers. Logistics: - IEEE speaker present at Morton 203 on Friday, April 26 10:00-noon - Opportunity to see University STEM students apply their education and skills in multiple areas including: a robotics competition, a music concert, and senior design projects - Flexible schedule. Since the Expo activities take place from 11am-3pm, we can tailor the day's schedule to what works best for your school and students. See (https://www.stevens.edu/stevens-innovation-expo) for schedule.

Guest Lecture Focus Self-driving cars have been a dream from almost the time the automobile was invented. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), this dream has seemingly become reality with driverless commercial operations already taking place in a handful of cities around the world. However, the recent tragic accident involving a pedestrian and a Cruise self-driving car, as well as a number of high-profile Tesla crashes, raise the possibility that such systems may not actually be as capable as envisioned, and questions have arisen about their safety both nationally and internationally. Given these concerns, it is important to step back and analyze both the actual safety records of these vehicles and just why AI is struggling to operate safely under all conditions in autonomous vehicles. This lecture will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of AI in self-driving cars, as well as in all safety-critical applications, and lay out a roadmap for safe integration of these technologies on public roadways. Speaker(s): Prof Missy Cummings, Agenda: 18:00 (UTC+1) Welcome and Introduction to Guest Speaker 18:05 Lecture 18:45 Questions and Discussions Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/406173
