'The most innovate application idea for Galileo Initial Services'
Description
Workshop on Unmanned Aerial Systems, highlighting the advances in the field and showcasing the integration of GNSS research with Drones.
Drones2GNSS
Drones2GNSS is a research project co-financed by the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH – CREATE – INNOVATE (project code:T1EDK-03209).
The Workshop will present the various findings of the project, but will also provide the stage for studies and presentations in all related areas of Unmanned Systems Technology.
The Workshop aims to showcase studies on hardware implementations, software and AI/learning, collaborative systems and applications on mapping, autonomous navigation, anti-spoofing, defense, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, logistics, health, etc related to the project’s findings.
Researchers, developers, companies, students, and practitioners in all facets of drone-related Science and Technology and their applications, are cordially invited to attend the workshop, showcase products, network with colleagues and find out about the latest developments in the field.
Program
The Workshop will be held virtually on the 31st of January 2022.
Entry fee for presenters and audience: Free
