How will drones be used in the future? What regulations are to apply, and how can these unmanned craft safely share airspace with traditional air traffic? These are questions that LiU researchers will be looking for rapid answers to.

Drones already deliver defibrillators and medicine in sparsely populated areas, but how should unmanned traffic operate in large cities? With the assistance of AI and visualisation, the UTM City project will show us how.

Autonomous air-traffic control, white light-emitting diodes, electronic components that harvest energy, and research into how embryos can survive in a foreign uterus are new projects to receive funding in the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.

Two years from now, Sweden’s first test flight of an autonomous drone will be made between Norrköping and Linköping. LFV, LiU and IBG are collaborating in a project to demonstrate the societal benefits of drone-supported services.

LiU and the Swedish Maritime Administration have established research collaboration to develop more sustainable, efficient and safe shipping operations based on such technology as artificial intelligence and interactive visualisation.

Artificial intelligence that doesn’t take into account human operators creates problems. Now LiU researchers are building a system where AI and humans work together to control air traffic.
