Our vision is to establish a globally recognized
hub of excellence in autonomous systems research,
where interdisciplinary collaboration catalyzes
breakthroughs in technology, contributes to
societal well-being, and shapes the future of
autonomous applications

Explore and develop theoretical
and practical techniques and
technologies related to
collaboration between family
of systems/platforms
We aim to pioneer transformative research
and innovations in autonomy that bridge
theoretical exploration with practical
applications, thereby driving progress
in technology, security, and
sustainable development
Design, develop and
implement theoretical and
practical techniques and
technologies related to
Human-Machine teaming
