Autonomous Systems, Drones & UAV AI
Onboard autonomy, swarm coordination and sensor fusion for drones and autonomous vehicles — perception-to-action pipelines that run at the edge, in the air, on the ground and at sea.
Autonomy is spreading across every vehicle class: drones fly beyond-line-of-sight with onboard intelligence, swarms coordinate without a human per unit, robotaxis and autonomous trucks scale in geofenced operations, and mines, warehouses and farms run driverless fleets. This program trains engineering and operations teams to build and evaluate real autonomy stacks — perception, sensor fusion, planning and control at the edge — plus the swarm coordination, route optimisation, anti-jamming resilience and simulation-based validation that make them dependable. Labs run in simulation with optional hardware kits.
Who it's for
Robotics, aerospace, automotive and controls engineers; drone-programme and fleet-operations leads. Python required.
