What If You Coud See Through Cars?

CMU Portugal researchers have developed a See-Through System (STS) that lets you peer through the car you are trailing, enhancing the visibility of the road ahead. The technology is one of the outcomes of DRIVE-IN (Distributed Routing and Infotainment through Vehicular Inter-Networking), a project carried out as part of the CMU Portugal Program and funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). Michel Ferreira, researcher at Faculdade de Ciências of the Universidade do Porto (FCUP) and Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), believes that the STS has the potential to change inter-vehicular communications in the future, and to contribute to reduce car accidents.

Overtaking long vehicles can be dangerous due to their length and to the low visibility. With STS, the driver “sees” the oncoming vehicle while staying behind a bus, for example, and can safely overtake it. How? In an ideal scenario, large vehicles will drive with a forward-facing webcam on their windscreen, while cars have a transparent LCD screen on their windscreen, which allows the driver to see what the road in front of the large vehicle looks like.

“These windshield cameras will someday be very common and I envision them eventually becoming a standard on every car,” says Michel Ferreira. “But besides letting cars simply communicate with each other, the STS can also be deployed as a procedure of augmented reality, enabling you to see through cars,” he added.

The technology uses low-latency video streaming and dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), allowing for synthetic vision of the road ahead. The image shown on the driver’s windscreen has a delay of 200 milliseconds, which means that it shows an incoming car 10 meters closer than it actually is, if both drivers are moving at 90 kilometers per hour.

Michel Ferreira leads the development of the overtaking assistance system, with the collaboration of other researchers from IT, Fausto Vieira, Michelle Krüger Silvéria, and the doctoral student Pedro Gomes. Their work was presented at the International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality in Australia, in October 2013. The presentation and the demo were very successful, and have been covered in several news pieces worldwide, since then.

The system has been already tested in a driving simulator, and on the road, and can be seen running on this video.

Carnegie Mellon University leaders, Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Congressman Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) today announced that 36 new startup companies were created at CMU this year — a record for the university and a major economic milestone for the Pittsburgh region.

“I would like to congratulate Carnegie Mellon on this impressive milestone of innovation and excellence. I continue to be impressed with the talent fostered from CMU’s researchers and entrepreneurs,” Casey said. “The technologies highlighted today will impact a vast number of industries including health care, agriculture and transportation. Pennsylvania has led the way in new technologies, and the startups acknowledged today will continue that strong innovative legacy along with developing future economic growth.”

Toomey, a former small business owner, praised CMU and its innovators for their entrepreneurial efforts.“Congratulations to Carnegie Mellon and the 36 startups it helped launch this year. As a former small business owner, I can attest to the struggles, uncertainties and risks involved in starting one’s own business. With this in mind, I applaud the perseverance of these innovators and CMU’s efforts to help them succeed,” Toomey said.

CMU President Subra Suresh revealed the record and highlighted the startups’ accomplishments at LaunchCMU, a research and entrepreneurial showcase presented by the university’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE). Doyle spoke to the audience via a live webcast from Washington, D.C.“It’s remarkable that one university has spun off so many startup companies in just a year, but Carnegie Mellon has so many talented faculty, students and alumni that it shouldn’t be that surprising. CMU’s combination of world-class researchers with centers set up to help them commercialize their work has made the university a national leader in startup creation — and made an important contribution to our region’s economic growth in the process,” Doyle said. “As someone whose top priority throughout my service in Congress has been promoting good jobs and economic growth in southwestern Pennsylvania, I’ve worked many years with CMU to support and expand its research efforts.”

Alumnus Bruce McWilliams, chairman of the Research and Technology Commercialization Committee of CMU’s Board of Trustees, kicked off the event by acknowledging the role of the CIE and CMU’s Center for Technology Transfer and Enterprise Creation in helping faculty, students and alumni to launch new ventures. “Carnegie Mellon has shown that innovation can be encouraged and strengthened. Through streamlined university policies and investment in support for faculty and students with interests in entrepreneurship, the university is expanding its impact and creating an example for other research institutions around the world,” said McWilliams, president and chief executive officer of SuVolta Inc.

This year’s startups include PECA Labs, a medical device company that has developed a heart valve with the potential to save thousands of children from undergoing repeated open heart surgeries; PieceMaker Technologies, a company marketing the PieceMaker 3D printer, software and support services to allow stores to print and deliver goods on demand; and SolePower LLC, a company commercializing power-generating shoe insoles for charging portable electronics such as cellphones and GPS devices.

CMU, its faculty and students have spun out more than 130 companies over the past five years and have attracted approximately $400 million of outside investment. Additional companies launched during this five-year period include Duolingo, creator of a free language-learning app that enables users to simultaneously translate documents on the Web; Surtrac Inc., developer of intelligent and adaptive traffic signals to cut down on congestion, save people time and reduce auto emissions; and ActivAided Orthotics, maker of the RecoveryAid shirt, which trains users to perform with proper body mechanics and correct posture for back pain relief.

CMU Portugal Startup Geolink Partners with Portugal Telecom for New Taxi App

The Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program startup Geolink, recently launched an innovative application that enables passengers to book a taxi using a smartphone, in partnership with Portugal Telecom (PT). Michel Ferreira, faculty member at Faculdade de Ciências of the Universidade do Porto (FCUP) and co-founder of this startup, which focuses on the management of geospatial information, believes that the technology “can make taxi rides much more efficient, cheaper and comfortable, leading to a substantial increase in the usage of these vehicles.” The service is available to Android and iOS Portuguese users for free.

This new app provides greater convenience, control and speed in calling a taxi. Michel Ferreira highlights the “overall taxi efficiency, starting with the absence of initial investment, increased revenue from additional taxi requests coming through the fast-growing market of passengers owning smartphones and tablets, or the reduced costs enabled by informed navigation and a taxi stand recommendation system”.

When submitted, the taxi booking will be forwarded via mobile application to cab drivers, who can see the location of the passenger from the self-reported GPS position. Once the request is accepted, the passenger will be notified and will be able to monitor the car’s progress along its route on a map, as well as see the estimated time of arrival.

The system uses new networking paradigms such as vehicular ad hoc networking, and eliminates the noise of a radio-based taxi dispatching system. “A smartphone-equipped taxi driver, who quietly receives a service request, using the self-reported GPS location emitted by the smartphone, is automatically navigated by a turn by turn application to pick up the passenger,” explained Michel Ferreira. The service is also customizable, enabling users to define the taxi characteristics that they wish (the number of seats, the payment method, or the default radio station they want to listen to uring the trip, among others). Just like the passengers, companies can also have the service for free, with no need to invest in equipment, according to PT. The Portuguese company has developed the application in partnership with Geolink. GeoLink was involved in the CMU Portugal Program through a participation in the DRIVE‐IN (Distributed Routing and Infotainment through Vehicular Inter‐Networking) research project, which equipped 500 taxi cabs in the city of Porto with a vehicle-to-vehicle network, and had a particular influence on this app. “The CMU Portugal Program, and the DRIVE-IN project, of which I was Principal Investigator, and in which Geolink was involved, have been important enablers for technological innovations in this context,” stated Michel Ferreira.

The PT-Geolink partnership will evolve and is expected to result in new services and features coming out over the coming months. PT is a major player in connectivity and georeferencing through mobile networking, and therefore, for Michel Ferreira, the partnership is a “very important step for a start-up company such as Geolink”, enabling a “shared vision in understanding and designing new business models that take advantage of this new mobile paradigm.” Furthermore, the role of PT as a testbed for novel technologies and business models could represent a very important advantage for future access to large markets where PT is present.

The internationalization of the app is now the key goal. “We think that the innovation-oriented culture of both PT and Geolink will definitely further disrupt personal mobility paradigms, exploring the current excess capacity of taxi fleets,” said the FCUP researcher.

Converting Technology Innovation Into Successful Businesses

On September 17 and 18, 2013, the CMU Portugal Program received the visit of Nikhil Balram, CEO of Ricoh Innovations Corporation (RIC) and a CMU Electrical and Computer Engineering alumnus. The two goals of the visit were to provide Nikhil Balram with a view of R&D and technology commercialization efforts in Portugal, and to create opportunities for him to share his expertise in transforming technical innovation into sustainable commercial success.

The first moment in an intensive two-day agenda was a talk at Porto Business School, on the evening of September 17, on “Going From Technology Innovation to Sustainable Business Success.” In this session, Nikhil Balram presented four case studies from his own experience to show that “going from technology innovation to sustainable business success is often a long and complex process with a low probability of success.” Two of the cases were in semiconductor, and another was in consumer electronics. The fourth and most recent one is in “mobile and cloud software and is a work in progress.” For each of the cases, he explained the underlying technology innovations, the market and business situations at the time, the decisions that were made, as well as the outcomes. As common threads in the cases, he highlighted the need for high-tech businesses to “own an axis” of performance, “take a system view” of the market, and “understand the slope” that is leading the world into the future.

On September 18, Nikhil Balram met with Jorge Gonçalves, vice-rector of the Universidade do Porto, and with several CEOs of startups incubated at UPTEC, the Science and Technology Park of the Universidade do Porto. During this session, the CEO of Ricoh had the opportunity to ask some questions about the organizational model of the incubator, and explain the organizational architecture that he has been implementing at RIC, which integrates technology, business expertise and end-users. Nikhil Balram clarified that startups need to work hard to identify and validate their business model, and need to be aware that it is difficult to get the first clients and that profit requires the ability to scale.

This meeting at UPTEC was followed by a CMU Portugal working session titled “Converting Technology into Products and Services,” that brought together several researchers at CISTER’s auditorium. João Barros, from FEUP/IT and co-founder of the startups Veniam and Streambolico, João Paulo Cunha, from FEUP/INESC TEC and principal investigator of the Vital Responder project, Vítor Grade Tavares, from FEUP/INESC TEC and principal investigator of the SELF-PVP project, and Nuno Pereira, from ISEP/CISTER/INESC TEC and researcher of the SeNoDs project, actively participated in this working session, presenting outcomes, challenges, and market opportunities. Each presentation was followed by a discussion about business models and product ideas in order to explore the potential of each project. Nikhil Balram also discussed the research outcomes and the next steps that could be put in to place to convert technology into products and services. This session provided important feedback for the researchers, based on Nikhil Balram’s experience in creating successful new technology ventures.

The visit was concluded with Nikhil Balram’s participation in a session of Biodesign Innovation, a course in the final year of the Integrated Master in Bioengineering at Faculdade de Engenharia of the Universidade do Porto (FEUP). Nikhil Balram gave a talk on “The Infinite Network and the needs of Smart Health Care.” In this year’s edition of the course, about 40 students are working in seven teams to identify and develop commercialization pathways for medical device technologies created in research units associated with the Universidade do Porto (IBMC, INEB, and INESC TEC). Throughout the semester the students meet with patients, doctors, nurses, managers, and industry executives, among others, to develop, describe, assess, and iterate on a commercialization opportunity for their technology. The teams work specifically on: needs screening, need statement development, disease state fundamentals analysis, treatment options analysis, stakeholder analysis, market analysis, and needs filtering; solution concept generation and screening; development strategy and planning, intellectual property strategy, regulatory strategy; and business model definition. The course is led by João Claro, from FEUP/INESC TEC and national director of the CMU Portugal Program, Catarina Maia, from FEUP/INESC TEC, and Paulo Osswald, from FEUP.

Nikhil Balram is President and CEO of Ricoh Innovations Corporation, Silicon Valley Company that develops innovative technologies and creates new businesses. With over 20 years of experience, he is widely hailed throughout the industry and academia as an expert and innovator in video and display technologies across multiple platforms and has been an officer of several publicly listed companies. He has won numerous awards including a 2012 Gold Stevie® Award for Executive of the Year in the Electronics category in The 9th Annual International Business Awards.

CMU Portugal Program at the European Researchers’ Night

On September 27, 2013, 300 European Cities celebrated the European Researchers’ Night. This year, the main topic of the event was “The Future in 2020,” a theme that is closely linked to the mission of the CMU Portugal Program, which combines world-class graduate education, cutting-edge research, and innovation in Information and Communication Technologies. Robots for intelligent surveillance networks, speech-to-speech machine translation, and a tutoring system that enables students to learn another language, were some of the results from CMU Portugal projects shown at the event that took place in Pavilhão do Conhecimento, in Lisbon.

Manuela Veloso, from CMU, and Francisco Melo, from IST/INESC ID, presented a demo from their MAIS-S project (http://goo.gl/b6JpAo), which seeks to contribute to improving surveillance systems, as a specific real-world application of multi-agent planning. Manuela Veloso also introduced CoBot/ISR, a services robot that is able to perform multiple tasks inside buildings.

Isabel Trancoso and Luísa Coheur, from IST/INESC ID, were also at the event to present two projects carried in the CMU Portugal Program in the Language Technologies area: PT-STAR (http://goo.gl/IRnzkG), and REAP.PT (http://goo.gl/t5bV7B). They gave a sprintalk on new ideas for the future of this research area, and with their research group they provided opportunities for the participants in this event to test the different instruments developed within these two projects: a new system that automatically translates speech-to-speech for Portuguese, trying to keep the characteristics of the original voice; educational games aimed at teaching a second language to foreign students (related with the Ph.D thesis of Wang Ling, a dual degree doctoral student – link to https://cmuportugal.org/tiercontent.aspx?id=3880); and multiple other interfaces.

The agenda for the European Researchers’ Night began at 6pm, and it included workshops, interactive games, debates and exhibitions. The main goal of the European Researchers’ Night, which is celebrated annually since 2005, is to bring researchers closer to the public, allowing for direct exchanges, meetings and interactive activities. It serves as an opportunity for the most curious to get to know what is being developed in several scientific areas in different institutions.

Alumni

Inês Oliveira is an alumna of the dual degree Professional Masters in Information Networking (MSIN), taught by the Universidade de Aveiro (UA) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in the scope of the CMU Portugal Program. Inês finished her studies in 2008, but she still remembers the hard work with tight schedules and numerous projects, which helped her to “learn beyond technology.”

When Inês Oliveira returned to PT Inovação, after her studies, she assumed a different role from the one she had held previously. “I was responsible for establishing the bridge between the technical and commercial fields and later became the manager of a network architecture project,” she explained. For the past two years, she has been responsible for coordinating innovation management transversely at PT Inovação. The experience that she obtained as an MSIN graduate taught her “the fundamental principles of global competitiveness and technological change in the 21st century.” Currently, Inês is deeply involved in a new crowdsourcing portal called JUMPin, which aims at involving students in solving real challenges faced by Portugal Telecom.

CMU Portugal: How was your experience as an MSIN dual degree graduate?
Inês Oliveira (IO): My experience as an MSIN dual degree graduate was one to carry for life. Until today I remember two challenges: going back to school (I had been working for a couple of years when I joined the Master) and keeping up with the pace demanded by the program. From then on I realized that when one sets one’s mind to move forward, there’s no turning back, and the possibilities are endless.

CMU Portugal: What were the hardest moments?
IO: Being a dual degree student, the classes that were lectured at Carnegie Mellon were followed through an audio and video system. Distance is not always easy, but the truth is that the hard work of all those involved contributed to diminish the side effects. Also, the program is very demanding. Schedules are tight, projects are numerous and time to sleep is short. In the end, we learned beyond technology. Pushing ourselves to the limit teaches about each other’s capacities, teamwork and self-organization. The feeling that prevails is that one is capable of everything.
“At Carnegie Mellon the cooperation between the University and companies creates a rich learning ecosystem.”

CMU Portugal: Can you identify your biggest learning experiences?
IO: From being at Pittsburgh one semester, and besides the personal experience, I keep in my mind two experiences that started as soon as the student reception: the proximity between the academic and corporate worlds and the INI family. At Carnegie Mellon the cooperation between the University and companies creates a rich learning ecosystem. It was an honor to be given the opportunity to feel and breathe such knowledge and to be around the professionals that allow this network to grow. Regarding INI, the message of the director, Dena Haritos Tsamitis was that we belonged to a family. Once an INI student, always an INI family member. This has proven to be true, and I am grateful to have met her and the rest of the department.

CMU Portugal: In what sense did this master help you to achieve the position you have today at PT Inovação?
IO: MSIN helped me in acquiring new competences and in solidifying the ones I had before. Besides the strong technological background, I was able to take courses such as Global Competitiveness: Firms, Nations, and Technological Change, Telecommunications Management, Transformational Leadership, Project Management, among others. When I came back to PT Inovação, I assumed a different role from the one I had previously. I was responsible for establishing the bridge between the technical and commercial fields and later became the manager of a network architecture project. In the past two years I was appointed to coordinate innovation management transversely at PT Inovação. I developed an interest in this topic with the Global Competitiveness course, which taught me the fundamental principles of global competitiveness and technological change in the 21st century.

CMU Portugal: You are currently involved in a new crowdsourcing portal called JUMPin, which aims at involving students in solving real challenges faced by Portugal Telecom. How did this idea emerge?
IO: JUMPin (www.jumpin.pt) is PT Inovação’s crowdsourcing portal. It presents challenges, which are real internal problems or needs framed within the company’s working technological domains. This portal is not just for students, although for the moment they have been our targets in terms of dissemination. It is for everyone who loves solving a problem, who likes to be challenged and who is willing to become part of a dynamic community. This has been the work of a team. The idea was developed within the innovation management department, the project management team carried out the project coordination, and its development was outsourced to Pictonio, a partner company.
“JUMPin (www.jumpin.pt) is PT Inovação’s crowdsourcing portal. (…) This is a step forward in our innovation pathway, enabling a future increase in the technological capabilities of the company through the connection with the creativity and knowledge of the surrounding ecosystem.”

CMU Portugal: What are the main goals of PT Inovação with JUMPin?
IO: With JUMPin, PT Inovação aims at accessing knowledge outside the company, because we are aware that such knowledge is by far larger than the one existing indoors. This is one step forward in our innovation pathway, allowing a future increase in the technological capabilities of the company through the connection with the creativity and knowledge of the surrounding ecosystem. PT Inovação is reaching out, through this portal, to new ways of thinking and creating, and to new opportunities to identify and attract new employees and partners. JUMPin provides an alternative channel where ideas and potential partnerships with PT Inovação can be proposed and have an individualized treatment.

CMU Portugal: What are the awards for the students that propose the best solutions?
IO: The challenges made available through JUMPin are to be solved by the community. Such challenges are based on internal problems and needs that can be addressed by people outside PT Inovação. The challenges are framed in the areas where the company operates. Each challenge will have a deadline for reply. Thereafter, PT Inovação will evaluate the proposals and select the winner, who will be awarded a prepaid card (Visa) with the value set for that specific challenge. But more than the monetary value, participants can show and be recognized for their skill through their participation in the proposed challenges.

Alumnus

CMU Portugal Program alumnus Ricardo Caetano was one of the first graduates from the dual degree Professional Masters in Information Networking (MSIN), taught by the Universidade de Aveiro (UA) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). In looking back to 2008, he recalls the challenges and feels that “it was a very rewarding process,” that contributed to increase his “responsibilities and lead a very complex deployment project” at Portugal Telecom.Currently, Ricardo Caetano integrates the Global Network Acquisition team at Google, in London. He feels that “by joining Google now, I’m able to continue my work within a different environment, with an amazing dynamic and worldwide reach.“

CMU Portugal: What memories do you keep from your time as a student in the MSIN program?
Ricardo Caetano (RC): Because it was the first year, I remember the startup process of the program with many issues being solved “on the fly.” I remember the effort that all CMU members made in order to overcome the first obstacles. The program was a challenge for everyone, but I think that it was an amazing and extremely important accomplishment.

CMU Portugal: What impact did the MSIN program have on your personal and professional life?
RC: It’s an extremely valuable and challenging experience, to be able to join the very best of two realities (U.S.A. and Europe). While scientifically they match and complement each other, sometimes the approaches to the problems and the methodologies are different and that’s were the maximum value is obtained with this degree: to be able to have this experience of two different realities. At a more personal level, it was a very hard working environment, especially for the colleagues that came from the industry and that had to re-adapt themselves to the extremely high expectations/standards of the program. Also I need to present recognition to the companies that supported their employees and that helped/allowed them to participate in the CMU Portugal Program. Without this support it would have been very difficult to balance professional and academic life.

CMU Portugal: In looking back to the years after your graduation, what have you achieved so far?
RC: It was a very rewarding process, I was able to increase my responsibilities and lead a very complex deployment project at my previous company. After this project I joined a very interesting area inside Portugal Telecom: the submarine cable systems area, which helped me to increase my technical and managerial knowledge. It was an area of great interest and challenge and a continuation of the trust and confidence that Portugal Telecom had in my work. I feel very fortunate to have worked at Portugal Telecom and for the support that I had at the Company. By joining Google now, I’m able to continue my work within a different environment, with an amazing dynamic and worldwide reach.
