Workshop AIrTonomy
Envisioning the Future of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles
Submit your research use case to become a lead user with 6 months free research infrastructure!
The AIrTonomy workshop was an exclusive 2-day workshop held on Sept 11-12, where the objective was to define use cases and requirements for a cyber-physical infrastructure for research on autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs). The AIrTonomy infrastructure aims to revolutionize how researchers and engineers build artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) architectures for AAVs so that they can be trusted by society.
