Provizio was started to solve the global road death pandemic. According to WHO, 1.35 million people are killed in road traffic accidents every year. We believe that with the right focus, robotics and drivers can work together to reduce both road deaths and accidents to zero. 1.35 million to zero drives everything we do. We are building augmented, guardian angel technology that will make us all better and safer drivers. We are using unparalleled ‘beyond line-of-sight’ sensor technology coupled with artificial intelligence ‘on-the-edge’ to perceive, predict and prevent accidents. We are partnering with the top automotive OEMs and Tier 1’s to bring this capability to the masses.
Reason for Nomination:
The candidate we have nominated for the “Best Application of AI In a Student Project” is Edmond Keogh. Edmond is a Master of Electronic and Computer Engineering student in the University of Limerick. Edmond joined us in May of this year as part of a summer internship. His passion AI was clear from an early stage, having proposed a number of cutting edge ideas which have the potential to play a key role in our pledge to make road traffic related fatalities a relic of history. In his time with us Edmond worked on a series of neural net experiments before sitting down with his peers to identify the project with most promise to implement.
We are nominating Edmond for his work utilising generative adversarial networks to significantly improve and optimise our unique 4D radar infrastructure models. These developments are augmenting our active safety platform and are improving the vehicles ability to accurately sense it’s environment. He has applied state-of-the art vision techniques to our proprietary imaging radar point clouds with excellent results. The trained neural net is now feeding into our crash prevention platform which has the potential to save millions of lives.
Carnegie Mellon Robotics veteran and Provizio co-founder, Dr. Scott Thayer supervised Edmond’s work and said “Improving sensing technology is one of the key challenges preventing the deployment of intelligent transport systems. Edmond has, in remarkably short space of time utilised recent developments in deep learning to considerably improve sensing technology at Provizio, furthering our goal to make road transport safer
worldwide. Provizio has retained Edmond on a part-time basis, while completing his master’s degree, to continue the work and to supervise it’s implementation
