NAVIGATE Summer School 2025: Training researchers to innovate autonomous transport

Vasso Reppa

From the 7th to 10th of July 2027, the NAVIGATE Summer School took place at Mechanical Engineering Faculty. The focus of the school was on connected autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems. With the support of the Transport & Mobility theme, Vasso Reppa (MTT Department) together with Bilge Atasoy (MTT Department), Laura Ferranti (CoR Department) and Holger Caesar (CoR Department) organized the school with several lectures given by themselves and by Sergio Grammatico (DCSC Department), Javier Alonso Mora (CoR Department) and Barys Shyrokau (CoR Department). The lectures showed the multidisciplinary research on Transport and Mobility at ME faculty, starting from perception, predictive and comfort-oriented motion planning, sensor fault management, autonomous vessel coordination, dynamic game theory, coordinated transport and logistics among others.
Along with the lectures, there were several interactive sessions like poster sessions where many TU Delft researchers of the ME faculty presented their cutting-edge research, stimulating interesting discussions and a dynamic roundtable about the future of the Transport and Mobility with five panelists, Dariu Gavrilla (CoR Department), Rudy Negenborn (MTT Department), Irene Martinez (Civil Engineering & Geosciences Faculty), Jan Anne Annema (Technology, Policy and Management Faculty) and Jochem Nonhebel (DAMEN Naval).
This talk will give a summary of the school, including the background of the organization and interesting feedback.
