Vision of the Year of Autonomy

The 2017 / 18 Year of Autonomy aims to  bring together innovators and users of autonomous and robotic systems from across marine, land and air  to address key challenges and share learning. With the aim of developing cross sector collaboration

Why?

  • Improve industry access to information on cross-sector challenge areas
  • Shared understanding of research base and industry approaches to issues they have in common across the autonomy landscape
  • Development of cross-sector industry collaborative projects and programmes
  • Engage funders and key stakeholders on the key challenge areas
  • Create a recognised South Coast Cluster of Excellence for Autonomy

How?

  • Five Workshops on the common Key Challenge Areas
  • Develop a roadmap of capabilities and challenge areas
  • Funding
  • Engage Funders (Traditional and User community)
  • Horizon scan funding landscape for opportunities
