The WITAS project
IT for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
Prof Erik Sandewall Prof Patrick Doherty
The WITAS Mission:
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.
