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…

Bounding Autonomy

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…

Hello autonomy world!

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…
