It's 2017. Where are the Flying Cars? | Sanjiv Singh | TEDxCharlottesville

Research professor at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University and the CEO of Near Earth Autonomy, Dr. Sanjiv Singh presents the exciting data and research of how autonomous flying vehicles will fly safe and land safe without GPS. Dr. Sanjiv Singh is an educator, innovator, and entrepreneur. He is currently a Research Professor at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University and the CEO of Near Earth Autonomy, a startup that develops autonomy for next generation aircraft that will inspect infrastructure, deliver cargo, and, transport people. Dr. Singh started his career working on self-driving cars in 1985 and led a project to demonstrate “fast navigation” for autonomous mining trucks, almost two decades before such capability was common. He went on to work on the automation for earth moving and in 2000, he demonstrated an autonomous 25-ton excavator. In 2006, he led the first team to fly a drone at high speeds between wires, trees and buildings. In 2010, he led the first effort to automate a full-scale helicopter for a Medevac mission and currently leads key technology developments for a military program to develop autonomous cargo delivery using full scale rotorcraft. He received a B.S in Computer Science (1983) from the University of Denver, M.S in Electrical Engineering (1985) from Lehigh University and a PhD in Robotics (1995) from Carnegie Mellon University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
