Baidu's RAL: From Autonomous Driving to Robotics
Ruigang Yang, PhD and Professor
Abstract
Baidu is the leading internet search provider in China. In the last few years, it has invested heavily in AI-related R&D. Among these projects, autonomous driving (AD) is one of the most prominent. In this talk, I will introduce Baidu's Apollo project that provides an open source and open capability platform for autonomous driving. In addition, I will introduce the newly founded Robotics and Autonomous Driving lab (RAL) in Baidu Research, which serves as the research arm for AD business and the exploration front for robotics research.
