Preparing for a future in which artificial intelligence (AI), 网络系统, autonomous vehicles (AVs) 和 connected AVs (CAVs) are integral to society, The City College of New York is launching an international program to train select students in mastering Avs. The three-year project -- in partnership with Turkey’s Istanbul Technical University (ITU) 和 California-based autonomous bus company ADASTEC集团 – is funded by a $300,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant.
“Future societies will depend more 和 more on AI 和 网络系统, 和, 反过来, on AVs 和 CAVs for many services 和 operations,” 晶川口, chair of computer science in The City College’s Grove School of Engineering. “AVs 和 CAVs have strong potential to increase performance, 安全, 和效率, 结果就是, to contribute to societal well-being 和 enhance economic growth. Reinforcement learning (RL), an emerging branch of machine learning (ML) 和 control, has a lot to promise for autonomy with its capacity to address unpredictable changes in the system 和 environment.”
据川口说, up to 16 top undergraduate 和 graduate students (PhD-level for the latter) from CCNY 和 the Graduate Center, 城市大学, will be selected to tackle the open challenges of fully autonomous vehicles through cohort experiences at Istanbul Technical University, under the mentorship of subject-matter experts from ITU 和 ADASTEC集团.
“每年, a different student cohort will be selected for this unique re搜索 和 professional development opportunity, thereby contributing to the U.S. leadership in the future of vehicle technologies with a well-prepared workforce,” he added. “At the end of each re搜索 cycle, the modularly developed algorithms will be integrated on an actual vehicle 和 tested individually 和 in integration, first on the ITU vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) system, then on indoor RaceCars 和 finally, at the ITU Living Lab environment for shuttle service scenarios.”
In addition to Kawaguchi, the CCNY/城市大学 team launching the program this fall includes 刚毛Bogosyan, former NSF Program Director 和 CCNY adjunct professor.

自1847年以来, The City College of New York has provided a high-quality 和 affordable education to generations of New Yorkers in a wide variety of disciplines. CCNY embraces its position at the forefront of social change. It is ranked #1 by the Harvard-based Opportunity Insights out of 369 selective public colleges in the United States on the overall mobility index. This measure reflects both access 和 outcomes, representing the likelihood that a student at CCNY can move up two or more income quintiles. Education re搜索 organization Degree Choices ranks CCNY #1 nationally among universities for economic return on investment. In addition, the Center for World University Rankings places CCNY in the top 1.8% of universities worldwide in terms of academic excellence. Labor analytics firm Emsi (现在是Lightcast) $1.9 billion CCNY’s annual economic impact on the regional economy (5 boroughs 和 5 adjacent counties) 和 quantifies the “for dollar” return on investment to students, 纳税人与社会. 在城市学院, 15人以上,000 students pursue undergraduate 和 graduate degrees in eight schools 和 divisions, driven by significant funded re搜索, creativity 和 scholarship. This year, CCNY launched its most expansive fundraising campaign, ever. 这场名为“Doing Remarkable Things Together” seeks to bring the College’s Foundation to more than $1 billion in total assets in support of the College mission. CCNY is as diverse, dynamic 和 visionary as New York City itself. 查看CCNY媒体包.
