About the ‘Year of Autonomy’

2017 was the ‘Year of Autonomy’, which saw a series of events all with the common aim of bringing together innovators and end-users of autonomous and robotic systems from across the marine, land and aerospace sectors to address the key challenges and share learning, and to help further develop 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 other stakeholders on the key challenge areas
  • Create a recognised South Coast Cluster of Excellence for autonomy

How?

  • Hold five workshops on the common key challenge areas
  • Develop a roadmap of capabilities and challenge areas
  • Engage Funders (traditional and end-user community)
  • Horizon scan funding landscape for further opportunities
