Doctorate Honoris Causa to Prof. Alberto Broggi
The prestigious award for lifetime achievement
to be awarded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Parma, January 8th, 2015 --- Prof. Alberto Broggi, affiliated with the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Parma and CEO of VisLab srl, will receive the title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Honoris Causa in Computer Vision during an important ceremony on April 3, 2015 at INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées) in Rouen, France. Professor Broggi’s long and thorough research, mainly focused on the application of computer vision in the field of intelligent vehicles, profoundly influenced the field of vehicular robotics worldwide and helped to define a number of milestones in autonomous driving recognized and referenced by researchers around the globe.
Some basic techniques for the interpretation of the vehicle surrounding environment have been developed and demonstrated in real cases: the first test in the world (2000 km on Italian motorways) in semi-automatic mode with off-the-shelf and low cost components in 1998, the successful participation in the DARPA Challenges together with the most renowned research groups in the world, the first ever test of intercontinental autonomous driving (from Parma, Italy, to Shanghai, China, from July to October 2010), and finally the first test of autonomous driving in open traffic in urban environment in July 2013 with nobody in the driver seat.
Since 1998, Professor Broggi has been ‘visiting professor'
for many times at INSA in Rouen, where he participated in
the research as advisor and gave lectures. The title of PhD
Honoris Causa, conferred by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, rewards and highlights the work, career, and emphasizes the personal involvement of Professor Broggi in applied research conducted together with the LITIS laboratory (www.litislab.eu) at INSA in Rouen.
The ceremony will be one of the main events of the celebration for INSA’s thirtieth anniversary.
