Autonomy Workforce

Join the University of Maryland MATRIX Lab at the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland SMART Building for a series of presentations and discussions. The next event will be held from 5 to 7pm Wednesday, September 4, 2024. The Patuxent Partnership is helping to publicize this event.

The topic will be “Reconstructing Reality: From Physical World to Virtual Environments” and will include a lineup focused on technical topics and policy implications related to autonomy and artificial intelligence. Dr. Ming Lin with UMD’s Department of Computer Science will present recent advances in data-driven modeling that tackle challenging problems not previously addressed.

About the Evening@SMART Series

Autonomy and autonomous systems are critical to the future, not only in defense and industry, but in our everyday lives. The technologies that contribute to these capabilities and systems run the gamut – AI, machine learning, algorithms, materials science, physics, electronics, computer science and engineering, aerospace, mechanical, cybersecurity. While we may be familiar with uncrewed systems, remote operations and automation, autonomy takes us to the next level of capability … and requires the next level of trust in them. How do we bring this all together?

Evening@SMART is a periodic series focused on bringing together thought and action leaders in government, industry, and academia to share valuable perspectives on these and many more current technical topics. Dynamic presentations from prominent experts and stimulating discussions around cutting-edge topics aim to advance research and innovation and promote interdisciplinary collaboration. It is designed to spark growth through fostering dialogue and creating connections.

Evening@SMART is hosted by the University of Maryland MATRIX Lab and held at the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland SMART Building in California, MD. Each event runs from 5 to 7pm. If you have suggestions or ideas for future Evening@SMART events, email [email protected].

About The Patuxent Partnership

The Patuxent Partnership is a nonprofit member organization that fosters collaboration between government, industry, and academia to advance education through STEM-based initiatives; to advance technology through speaker programs, forums, and networking; to advance science and technology transfer through the exchange of ideas, information, and data related to technologies; and to increase workforce development through an array of initiatives.

SoMD 2030 is focused on building a STEM pipeline, increasing career opportunities. This collaborative effort is funded by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aviation Division. The Patuxent Partnership is accomplishing the work under an agreement with NAWCAD, working with St. Mary’s College of Maryland, College of Southern Maryland, area public school systems, as well as other schools, industry, and NAWCAD. SoMD 2030 connects talented students with paid apprenticeships and internships.
