We have just started the CORESENSE project with a kick-off meeting at the School of Industrial Engineering of UPM (UPM ETSII). We have been working together for two days, understanding each other, clarifying the scope of the work and organizing the first steps in this ambitious project. Universidad Politécnica de Read more…
In December 2022 we started a new project on a new class of autonomous efficient vehicle: AIRSHIP. AIRSHIP is a project funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe programme in topic HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-13 Digital aviation technologies for new aviation business models, services, emerging global threats and industrial competitiveness. In Read more…
We have been performing field experiments with some of our systems in the Belgium ground. This was done the days before our second review meeting. This is the whole team in the Belgian forest. The following video shows the TalTech team and the RM3 robot -and TUT and RCI observers- Read more…

Is it s project funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe programme in the topic “Pushing the Limits of Robotic Cognition”. In this project we explore the nature of understanding and its value in more Read more…
In a sense, full autonomy seems to be the central objective of any automatic control systems research program. But, for different reasons, it is not. Let’s analise some of the reasons for this apparent paradox. First, nobody in charge of real production systems want the plants to be fully autonomous because of Read more…
The Autonomous Systems Laboratory (ASLab) is a research group of UPM focused on the science and technology of autonomy. We investigate architectures and engineering methods for the construction of robust autonomous systems. Autonomy is a technical property of systems that make them capable of sustained provision of a particular service Read more…
