Vision-Based Aircraft Functions for Autonomous Flight Systems


Date:  Thursday, May 22

Start Time: 12:00 pm

End Time: 12:30 pm

At Acubed, an Airbus innovation center, the mission is to accelerate AI and autonomy in aerospace. Arne Stoschek, Acubed’s VP of AI and Autonomy, will give an overview of vision systems for autonomous flight, starting at the core: sensors, perception algorithms and AI decision-making. He will connect the technology to the business goals, such as reducing pilot fatigue, improving safety, enhancing efficiency and reducing human error. Arne will then share lessons learned from Acubed’s autonomous flight system development, including challenges they’ve faced along the way. He’ll conclude by discussing how Acubed’s experience can apply to other industries and talk about what’s next for Acubed and Airbus in autonomous flight.

  • Arne Stoschek is the Vice President of AI and Autonomy at Acubed, an Airbus innovation center. Arne oversees the company’s development of autonomous flight and machine learning solutions to enable future, self-piloted aircraft. In this role, he also leads the advancement of large-scale data-driven processes to develop novel aircraft functions. Arne is passionate about robotics, autonomy and the impact these technologies will have on future mobility. After holding engineering leadership positions at global companies such as Audi (a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group) and Infineon, and at aspiring Silicon Valley start-ups Lucid Motors (formerly Atieva), Knightscope and Better Place, Arne dared to take his unique skill set above ground with Airbus. Arne earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Munich and held a computer vision and data analysis research position at Stanford University.
