University engineers in China have developed an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) that emulates the flight capabilities of birds more closely than ever before. The Safety-Assured High-Speed Aerial Robot (SUPER) UAV is capable of flying at speeds exceeding...
University teams in the US have developed a laser sensor device that is smaller than a penny for improved Lidar systems in self-driving cars.
At the time of writing, optical metrology requires bulky and expensive equipment to achieve delicate...
Researchers in Europe have developed a decentralised auction-based system for the energy management of swarms of delivery uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) that has shown some counterintuitive results. The researchers, led by Prof Roderich Groß...
Athos Silicon has started the next phase of development for its ‘multiple system on chip’ (mSoC) controller in a Level 4 autonomous test vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with a complete set of Lidar, radar and camera systems, enabling live testing...
Steatite has developed a modular concept for multi-function consoles (MFCs), aimed at showcasing their systems engineering capability. It brings together various competencies of design, development and qualification...
Airbus has completed the assembly of its first SIRTAP prototype tactical UAS in Spain. The aircraft is ready to start ground tests at the Airbus Defence and Space facilities in Getafe, Spain. These tests will cover structural evaluations, main-systems...
A research group has developed a traffic management system for 6G networks that can be used for self-driving vehicles, writes Nick Flaherty.
The Integrated Network-Computing Load Balancing (INCL Balancing) simulator is optimised for next-generation 6G services, and is the first to integrate network and computational resources in an autonomous driving environment.
For the past decade, the pace of advancement in uncrewed systems has run together with the pace at which the technology of their subsystems could be miniaturised. Going forwards, however, the rates of adoption and advancement will be increasingly...
There is nothing like a modern high-intensity conflict for shaping military technologies, and the war in Ukraine has impacted uncrewed systems like no other. Tekever’s AR3 Evolution – the latest iteration of the Portuguese company’s 25 kg...
Monitoring the performance of uncrewed systems is becoming increasingly important to ensure their safe operation. Whether that be monitoring the health of UAVs making deliveries, underwater vehicles that would be difficult to recover...
