About Us

The Robotics & Autonomous Systems lab is a research unit of the department of Mechanics of the Belgian Royal Military Academy.

As a university laboratory, we conduct research in all matters related to unmanned systems: on one hand trying to develop novel “good" applications for these systems and on the other hand trying to find solutions to counter the potential malicious use of these systems.

As a military research institute and part of Belgian Defence, we focus on niche fundamental research axes and apply those to practical applications that provide a direct added value for our end users, mostly in the safety, security and defence sectors.
