People

A multidisciplinary team for multi-domain research questions.

The Robotics and Autonomous Systems unit consists of an interdisciplinary team of people with skills in robotics, control, perception, artificial intelligence, human factors, communication, etc. 

We are a part of the department of Mechanics of the Belgian Royal Military Academy (RMA), but work very often in collaboration with external partners or other departments of RMA, like the department  of Communication, Information & Sensor Systems (CISS), Economy Management & Leadership, Mathematics and Ballistics.
