    • Abstract

    Autonomous driving and navigation is a major research issue which would affect our lives in near future. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss topics related to autonomous driving and navigation in open and dynamic environments. Technologies related to this area, such as autonomous outdoor vehicles, achievements, challenges and open questions would be presented, including the following topics: Probabilistic methods in navigation; Robust obstacle detection, modeling and avoidance in dynamic environments; Real-time perception, smart sensors and sensor fusion and integration; Visual tracking and map building; SLAM in dynamic environments; Driver behavior modelling and learning; World state estimation and prediction; Real-time motion planning in dynamic environments; Multiple vehicle systems and networks of autonomous vehicles; Cooperative techniques; and Lessons learned in CyberCar evaluations.
