Dr Patrick Langdon was a Principal Research Associate in the Cambridge University Engineering Department Design Centre; Lead researcher in Inclusive Design. His past research has examined the psychological reality of certain Artificial Intelligence-based theories of Computer Vision and Neural-Network algorithms for robot control as well as Computational support for Engineering Design. He has been recently working in Human facors for auitonomous vehicles and in the areas of modelling inclusive interaction, particularly vision, learning, movement and cognition for inclusive design and computer assistance for motion impaired interface use. Pat is author and lead researcher responsible for a number of projects including:• Multi modal interfaces for adaptively creating inclusive interfaces for mobile device (IU-ATC) and Interactive digital TV (EU GUIDE);• Human Machine Interfaces as applied to Automotive displays and controls using signal processing for gestural and pointing intent (MATSA, MATSA2, MATSA 3,4);• Inclusive Human machine interfaces for the future car (CAPE iHMI project);• Haptic interfaces for touch audio devices (JLR TADHADIA);• Psychological models of latent variables in signal processing and machine learning for Automotive (CAPE DIPBLAD 1,2,3. OCCiD Project, He was co-PI and lead researcher for the successful bid for The joint EPSRC/Jaguar Land Rover funded programme, Towards Autonomy - Smart and Connected Control (TASCC), Designing Autonomy in Vehicles (HI:DAVe) consortium. This is a joint collaboration between the EDC and University of Southampton; running until 2019, that will conduct research into, and optimise practical solutions for, the difficult problem of how to interface drivers with automated vehicles.

Cambridge Engineering Department - Phase 2 of the India-UK Advanced Technology CentreResearchers at Cambridge University Engineering Design Centre are playing a key role in the recently announced Phase 2 of the India-UK Advanced Technology Centre;http://www.iu-atc.com/the largest India-UK ICT research collaboration, which employs 200 scientists in both countries, announced on Wednesday 18th by the UK’s Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts, during a meeting with Indian Science and Technology Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh in London.http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/newsevents/news/2012/Pages/indiaukict.aspxThe project aims to develop next generation Telecommunications networks – leveraging state-of-the-art technologies in sensor network and multimodal interaction to provide a plethora of services such as: e-Governance, education, e-Health, social networking and communication in disaster management for rural and urban populations in both UK and India

Using Wireless Networks to Support First Responders and Resilience in Upland AreasThis is a collaborative research project between Cambridge University and Queen Mary University of London. It is funded by the UK research council, EPSRC as part of the “IT as a Utility” programme http://www.itutility.ac.uk/. The aim is to test advanced new communication technologies as a “Proof of Concept” (PoC) for possible development to a full scale research project.

The JLR MATSA Project is a collaborative research project between Cambridge Engineering and JLR concerning interactive display usability in the vehicle environment. It is funded through the University CAPE http://www-cape.eng.cam.ac.uk/cape/
