Beyond Physics: Tackling the Limitations of Camera Perception
Event Information
About this Event
Join Humanising Autonomy’s Senior Behavioural Data Scientist, Dominic Noy, for a demonstration highlighting:
- The limitations of the industry’s preferred physics-based approach to human intent prediction. How can bayesian statistics and behavioural psychology enhance predictive elements of the perception stack for the most advanced models on the market?
- How autonomous vehicles, robotics and machinery can be built to understand the psychology of people to mitigate the limitations of the physics model.
- The importance of interpretable models, and how this makes all the difference in truly creating intuitive robotics and machinery for a variety of industries.
About Dominic Noy
Dr. Dominic Noy (Senior Behavioural Data Scientist) is part of the core team to build the foundation of the software stack for innovative decision-making systems for autonomous vehicles. He combines statistics, cognitive science, and machine learning to predict the behaviour of vulnerable road users. He is particularly keen about how to boost the interpretability of the underlying predictive models by using Bayesian methods. He has extensive knowledge in statistical modelling and worked as a research scientist and lecturer related to cognitive science and pedestrian behaviour for over 8 years. He holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology (Psychophysics, Cognitive Modelling, Human-Computer Interaction), a Master’s in Statistics, and a Master’s in Psychology (Psychology of Action).
