The Wallenberg laboratory for research on Information Technology and Autonomous Systems

WITAS is engaged in goal-directed basic research in the area of intelligent autonomous vehicles and other autonomous systems. In its present project, the major goal is to demonstrate, before the end of the year 2003, an airborne computer system that is able to make rational decisions about the continued operation of the aircraft, based on various sources of knowledge including pre-stored geographical knowledge, knowledge obtained from vision sensors, and knowledge communicated to it by radio.
