AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

Autonomous Systems

The laboratory studies the implementation of autonomous functions for single-agent and multi-agent systems, in support of the Group's business areas. Target platforms range from small multicopter drones to helicopters and large aircraft.

Search Areas

Autonomous flight

We develop technologies enabling uncrewed vehicles to operate independently, from take-off to landing.

Multi-agent teaming

We work on coordination and collaboration between autonomous agents, in order to improve the collective intelligence of multi-agent teams.

Onboard perception

We study how to improve the ability of an autonomous system to understand its environment, with functions for detection, localisation, mapping and assessment of position.

Crewed/uncrewed teaming

We develop models for coordination of autonomous systems managed by the pilot in multi-domain operations.

Swarming capability

We develop models for the distributed control and coordination of large numbers of autonomous agents (including human/swarm interaction) to achieve specific objectives.
