This year’s Kyoto Prize Symposium will be held from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 15, in Montezuma Hall at the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student
Union.

The Kyoto Prize Laureate in advanced technology is Dr. Takeo Kanade, a
world-leading roboticist with a nearly 40-year history of technological
innovation. He is the U.A. and Helen Whitaker University Professor at
Carnegie Mellon University, and a director emeritus of CMU’s Robotics
Institute and Computer Science department.

Dr. Kanade is recognized for his pioneering contributions to the theory of
computer vision. He has introduced a series of landmark technologies in
robotics, including automated driving, medical robotics and
computer-assisted surgery, to name a few. Many people know his work through
CMU’s unprecedented “No Hands Across America” driverless car project, which
made global headlines in 1995; for introducing virtualized reality at the
2001 Super Bowl, which has since become a mesmerizing Hollywood camera
technique; and for his leadership in face-detection algorithms for such
diverse applications as organizing photos and enhancing homeland security.

The event is free and open to the public; registration is requested.  You
can register here: SDSU Kyoto event registration link

I hope you can attend on March 15 for what has become one of SDSU's
signature annual events.
