    KAIST VDC Lab participated in the ‘2023 Seoul Mobility Show’, which opened on March 31st and will be held at KINTEX for a total of 10 days until April 9th.

    KAIST VDC Lab is a lab affiliated with the KAIST Graduate School of Mobility that has continued research on vehicle electrification and intelligence, including autonomous driving. Research is underway to develop technologies to ensure safety in various driving environments through simulation, and a cognitive algorithm that enables LiDAR-level performance using low-cost cameras and radar sensors.

    At this exhibition, KAIST VDC Lab presented its self-produced autonomous driving test vehicle platform. This is a vehicle platform equipped with a verification system using ‘VILS (Vehicle-in-the-Loop Simulation)’, and is equipped with actual vehicle-based simulation experiment technology and is used to verify autonomous driving algorithms. In addition, as an algorithm verification system that combines real vehicles and virtual space, it provides a way to test scenarios such as collision situations that are difficult to implement in virtual space using real vehicles.

    The lab explains that compared to existing simulation-based verification methods, experiments that are much closer to reality are possible.

    We also have a variety of foundations to improve the completeness of simulation results, including accuracy and reliability. This vehicle is equipped with various sensor systems such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar necessary for implementing autonomous driving technology, and is also equipped with a high-performance GPU to run artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

    At the same time, sensor fusion technology to replace radar sensors with cost-effective radar sensors, efficient data collection technology for deep learning learning, and an actual vehicle-based simulation verification system to verify safe driving algorithms were applied to the platform.

    A KAIST VDC researcher explained the reason for participating in the exhibition, saying, “By participating in this exhibition, we are using it as an opportunity to publicize the excellent autonomous driving technology that KAIST possesses and at the same time introduce the technology to visitors who are not familiar with autonomous driving.”

    He continued, “In this way, our goal is to continue research and development by focusing on the development of autonomous driving algorithms and artificial intelligence models and contribute to accelerating the commercialization of autonomous driving technology.”

    Meanwhile, the 2023 Seoul Mobility Show will begin with a press day on March 1th (Thursday) at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 3 in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do under the theme of ‘Sustainable·Connected·Mobility (Sustainable·Connected·Mobility)’ and end on April 30th ​​( It will be held until Sunday. The total exhibition size is 4㎡, more than twice the size of the previous event (9㎡), and over 53,541 companies and organizations from 26,310 countries around the world will participate and showcase various mobility contents.
