From September 1st to 5th, 2025, the Cooperative Interactive Vehicles (CIV) Summer School 2025 took place in Blonay, Switzerland. This summer school brought together researchers and students from around the world to explore cutting-edge topics in mobility, autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence. Organized by an international team led by Professor Arnaud de La Fortelle, the program featured lectures, poster sessions, hackathons, as well as social gatherings and a hike in the Swiss Alps. Associate Professor Manabu Tsukada joined as a member of the Organizing Committee and as a Lecturer, accompanied by 14 staff and students from the Tsukada Laboratory. His lecture, “Communication Foundations for End-to-End Driving”, addressed the essential roleRead more

Members of the Tsukada Laboratory recently participated in the 36th IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV2025), held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from June 22nd to 25th, 2025. This prestigious conference brought together leading researchers and practitioners in the field of intelligent vehicles. Representing our laboratory were Professor Tsukada, Professor Javanmardi, and Ph.D. students Yun Li and Yuze Jiang. It was also a pleasure to reconnect with Mikel García, a former visiting Ph.D. student, at the event. Our team made significant contributions to the symposium through two paper presentations and two keynote talks. Ph.D. student Yun Li presented “PrefDrive: Enhancing Autonomous Driving through Preference-Guided Large Language Models,” a novel framework that uses largeRead more

Dr. Manabu Tsukada was invited to speak at the 1st Workshop on Cooperative Intelligence for Embodied AI, co-located with the 18th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2024), in Milan, Italy, on September 30th, 2024. This workshop focused on how cooperative intelligence can enhance multi-agent systems in autonomous driving and robotics. Dr. Tsukada’s presentation, titled “Cooperative Autonomous Mobility through Open Standards and Real-World Experiments,” explored how Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication and Roadside Perception Units (RSPUs) are transforming autonomous mobility. By integrating open standards, his talk demonstrated how cooperative perception and maneuver coordination can significantly improve the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles. The workshop provided a platform for discussing the challengesRead more

Associate Professor Manabu Tsukada participated in the 6th International Workshop on Pervasive Computing for Vehicular Systems (PerVehicle 2024) held in Biarritz, France at 15th March 2024. This conference served as a platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss the evolving landscape of intelligent vehicular systems and the role of pervasive computing technologies in shaping their future. One of the highlights of the conference was Professor Tsukada’s presentation titled “V2X and Beyond: Integrating Roadside Units for Next-Level Cooperative Automated Driving.” The presentation explored the transformative potential of integrating Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication and Roadside Perception Units (RSPUs) in enhancing autonomous driving capabilities. Through rigorous field tests and simulation experiments, Professor Tsukada showcasedRead more
