Abstract: In his talk, Some learnings from drones to urban air mobility, Sudip Mukhopadhyay will tell a story on drone application development, starting in 2007, of a select few customized end users applications. He will discuss the mistakes made and all the learnings that came along with development, such that it will augment the steps needed to make urban air mobility successful in the coming years. He will also detail the relevance and role of old school aerospace corporations versus today’s car manufacturers, and what we need to do to develop a new and successful alternative transportation ecosystem.

The NASA Berkeley Aviation Data Science Seminar Series was launched in spring 2020 and is held weekly on Wednesdays in Stanley 106, at 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, from January 22 through May 6. Presenters include experts in government, industry, and academia, who focus on how big data collection and machine learning are transforming aircraft, airspace, and airport operations, with topics ranging from feedback control, IoT, and IoV to autonomy, AI, and data security. All seminars are livecast and interactive across both campuses. The series is also being offered as a 1-credit course: the Berkeley course numbers are CEE198/CEE298 (class #: 33393) and CP298 (class #: 13328). This seminar series is hosted by NASA and UC Berkeley, sponsored by the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and NASA Academic Mission Services; and presented by UC Berkeley's Urban Air Mobility Research Center (UAM@Berkeley), the Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies, and BIDS.
