Lab Culture: Yaobin Chen

INDIANAPOLIS (April 11, 2019) - Autonomous vehicles are being tested on city streets. Car manufacturers are already adding automated features to their high-end models, but when will driverless cars become common? Whether it's years or decades, the safety measures for these cars are being developed and improved daily in the labs of Yaobin Chen, professor of electrical and computer engineering.

Toyota Video: Meet Steve. The Dummy

INDIANAPOLIS (March 30, 2015) - Steve is a moving dummy (also known as a mannequin) that stands in for a pedestrian crossing a road. Mannequins like Steve – which come in adult and child sizes – mimic different walking speeds and angles to allow for realistic testing situations.

This technology was developed through a partnership of Toyota’s Collaborative Safety Research Center, Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Ohio State University. The study used data from volunteers of all shapes and sizes—including children— to develop a groundbreaking pedestrian mannequin – “Steve” – that is contributing unique technologies for future safety testing. Additionally, you can watch Steve in action on YouTube right here.
