AutoMan won VTS Motor Vehicle Challenge
Congratulation to MAE Team AutoMan: Ph.D. students Wu Jingda, Huang Zhiyu, under the supervision of Nanyang Asst Prof Lyu Chen from NTU School of MAE for winning second place in the 2022 IEEE VTS Motor Vehicle Challenge. During the competition, the team was tasked to co-design the sizing and energy management strategy of an intelligent electric vehicle with a hybrid dual-energy storage system, in order to extend the battery life and travel range. The team developed a novel deep learning-based predictive energy management strategy that can accurately predict future energy consumption and manage energy flow accordingly. .... Read more
News Release by NTU
A team of #NTUsg roboticists took home two awards at an autonomous driving competition organised by Waymo, the autonomous-vehicle subsidiary of Google. Using algorithms they developed, the team was able to predict where a vehicle would be eight seconds in the future with high accuracy – about 30 cm away from the actual position in real-world data.
Led by Nanyang Assistant Professor Lyu Chen, the team was the sole winner in the Interaction Prediction category, and also clinched 2nd place in the Motion Prediction category. .... read more

Our work was highlighted as Cover Paper on Advanced Intelligent Systems
In article number 2000229, Chen Lv and co-workers propose a novel human-machine collaboration system based on an intelligent haptic interface for addressing the takeover control problem for automated vehicles. The intelligent haptic torque is applied to the steering wheel and switches its functionality between predictive guidance and haptic assistance according to the varying state and control ability of human drivers. This helps drivers gradually resume manual control during takeover.
