Theme: Cross sector
Time: 12:00
Room: B

 

Autonomous systems are embedding themselves into everyday life in greater numbers and in a greater number of ways. These systems’ use within the military has been well-publicised for some time now, but ever more civil applications are being identified for such systems where safety concerns, inaccessibility, and sensory capacity often preclude human intervention.

 

This seminar will aim to investigate how autonomous systems can solve critical contemporaneous problems in both civilian and military scenarios, such as:

  • Security/ Crowd behavioural monitoring
  • Use in harsh environments
  • IED/ Bomb disarmament
  • Traffic monitoring/ congestion easing
  • Environmental perception (ie detecting levels of chemicals / pathogens in the environment)

Who will benefit from attending?

 

This engaging seminar will be of interest to anybody who is interested in the ways in which autonomous systems can be applied in various situations, and anybody who has ideas on how and/or where autonomous systems could be deployed in the future. The seminar will also be of particular relevance and benefit to:

  • Technology developers in this space
  • Organisations who wish to learn more about the role of autonomous systems and how they could be utilised, and are currently being utilised
  • End users of autonomous systems

The seminar will be hosted by Ruth Mallors the Aerospace & Defence; Electronics, Sensors & Photonics; and Transport Knowledge Transfer Networks, and the Space Special Interest Group. External speakers will include Nigel Mills, Autonomous Systems NTC Chair at QinetiQ, Hannu Rajaniemi,  Technical Director
ThinkTank Maths Limited and Bill Bardo, Technical Director for Autonomous Systems Defence Technology Centre
