For Dr Kanade, good research derives from solving real-world problems
and delivering useful results to society. As a roboticist, he participated in
developing a wide range of computer-vision systems and autonomous robots,
including human-face recognition, autonomously-driven cars, computer-assisted surgical
robots, robot helicopters, biological live cell tracking through a microscope, and EyeVision, a
system used for sports broadcast. Dr Kanade will share insights into his projects and discuss how
his “Think like an amateur, do as an expert” maxim interacts with problems and people.
