The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) of the University of Macau (UM) successfully held a forum on autonomous driving: Scenario-Generated Simulation recently (24th), experts from universities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were invited to share. The forum also attracted nearly 100 scholars and students from different fields to discuss the generation and application of metaverse-based platform that allows for the superimposition of real autonomous driving vehicles in simulated scenarios. Scholars from City University of Hong Kong, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangdong Institute of Intelligent Science and Technology, Tsinghua University and UM shared and summarized the research results and practical experiences of autonomous driving in the China, Hong Kong and Macao.
The forum was held at UM and covered a number of important technologies, including the introduction of the Macao Car Racing Metaverse (MoCAM) Platform, the combination of virtual world and real world data, the robustness of autonomous driving systems, and the optimization and learning of autonomous navigation. In his speech, Xu Cheng-Zhong, Dean of FST, said that metaverse and autonomous driving are the top trending topics in the world. The metaverse platform has the function of generating virtual scenes, which can provide an ideal experimental environment and technical support to verify the algorithm of autonomous driving and develop vehicle perception system, perform testing of the adaptability, stability and efficiency of the autonomous vehicle. Through this forum, universities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be allowed to exchange experiences and ideas in cutting-edge fields, and have more opportunities for cooperation, laying the ground for the development of diversified industries in Macao.
In addition, the University of Macau, City University of Hong Kong and Southern University of Science and Technology will jointly organize and a Metaverse Autonomous Driving Challenge this year, using the Metaverse platform to provide students and researchers an ideal experimental environment and opportunity to learn from each other. The forum attracted numerous professors and students from FST, State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City, and Collaborative Innovation Research Institute.
澳大科技學院日前(24日)成功舉辦自動駕駛論壇,多名粵港澳大灣區高校的專家獲邀分享。論壇更吸引近百名不同領域的學者及學生參與,一同探討自動駕駛及元宇宙平台的多維空間場景生成及應用。來自香港城市大學、南方科技大學、中國科學院深圳先進技術研究院、廣東省智能科學與技術研究院、清華大學及澳門大學的學者分享及總結三地自動駕駛科研成果及實踐經驗。
論壇於澳大舉行,涵蓋元宇宙MoCAM平台介紹、虛擬世界/真實世界數據的結合、自動駕駛系統的穩健性及自主導航的優化和學習等多項重要技術。科技學院院長須成忠致辭時表示元宇宙及自動駕駛是目前全球炙手可熱的話題,元宇宙平台具備虛擬場景生成功能,可為比賽提供必要的環境及技術支撐,以驗證自動駕駛的算法、訓練車輛感知系統、檢測車輛的適應性、穩定性及高效性。期望透過本次論壇加強粵港澳大灣區高校在前沿領域的交流,發掘更多共同合作機會以進行深入技術的深討,以配合澳門社會多元發展。
此外,澳門大學將聯同香港城市大學及南方科技大學於本年共同組織及舉辦元宇宙自動駕駛挑戰賽,利用元宇宙平台,為學生及科研人員提供理想的實驗環境及相互切磋的機會。是次會議吸引澳大科技學院、智慧城市物聯網國家重點實驗室及協同創新研究院的師生參與。
