The Queensland University of Technology’s ARCAA group comprises 7 full-time academic staff and approximately 21 post-graduate research students and staff. The research group has an extensive international reputation in avionics research focussing in the areas of UAS autonomy, civil airspace integration and UAS emergency procedures. The group was responsible, in conjunction with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, for the development and operation of the GPS payload for FedSat. The group comprises a number of avionics engineers who are also aero-modellers and private pilots providing a unique skill set.
The Autonomous Systems Lab at the CSIRO ICT Centre is headquartered at the Queensland Centre for Advanced Technologies (QCAT) in Pullenvale (Western Brisbane). The ASL comprises 45 reseachers, engineers and support staff and hosts a number of students from various universities, including QUT. The lab focuses its research on perception and in particular on robotics and pervasive computing. The team has a track record in mining, marine and aerial robotics as well as an agricultural and environmental application focus in recent years.
