Keynote Speaker
Dr. Sebastian Thrun: Cars that Drive Themselves with GPS Guidance
Dr. Sebastian Thrun is professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University, where he directs the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering, the German Leopoldina, and an elected Fellow of the AAAI, ECCAI, and WTN. In 2005, Thrun's team won the DARPA Grand Challenge, a Government sponsored robot race with $2M price money. Thrun has written or edited 11 books, co-authored more than 300 scientific papers and won numerous scientific awards.
Dr. Thrun will discuss the results of the recent "DARPA Grand Challenge." This $2M race, sponsored by the U.S. Government, required autonomous robots to traverse the 132-miles long desert trail specified via GPS locations. Stanford won this race, by combing advanced robot perception techniques with precision vehicle guidance. The speaker will also talk about ongoing work on the "Urban Challenge," a new competition in which robots are asked to navigate in a populated urban environment.

a thrilling rodeo. See the world’s only twice
daily cattle drive (see it at 11:30 a.m. and 4
p.m.)! Hear live country stars. Sip a cold brew

away. Shop for authentic cowboy gear. And

Attention International Participants:
Visas and/or Machine Readable Passports are now required! |
|
Letter of Invitation Requests.
Conference attendees requesting a visa letter to attend a conference must register and pay the registration fees BEFORE a letter of invitation will be sent. If the attendee is unable to secure a visa, he/she will need to apply for a refund according to the printed refund rules of the event. Exemptions to this policy apply only to authors whose papers have been accepted for presentation, company personnel working in the exhibit area, or trade associated press. Visa letter requests should be directed to meetings@ion.org.
We recommend that you apply for your visa at least three months in advance due to security-related policies that have greatly increased the processing time for visa applications.
U.S. consular officers now interview most applicants as part of the application process. This can add additional time and delays. Currently there is a mandatory security check period of 30 days for people whose passports are issued from several countries including China, North Korea, and most Middle-Eastern countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department requires citizens of many countries to obtain visas to attend any scientific program.
Visa waiver travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program countries must present either a machine-readable passport or a U.S. visa.
To learn more about the Visa Waiver Program & Machine Readable Passports go to http://travel.state.gov/visa. For general information about visas, go to http://www.nationalacademies.org/visas.
