Autonomous Vehicles and Systems Lecture Series
Langley Research Center, in association with NIA, has established a lecture series to highlight recent developments in the area of autonomous vehicles and systems as part of the NASA's Autonomous Robust Avionics (AuRA) Project. The purpose of the lecture series is to benefit from the knowledge and experience of innovative thinkers and researchers in diverse backgrounds including adaptive systems, autonomous collaboration, intelligent mission management, network dynamics, complex systems, and related disciplines that could influence the ability of future flight vehicles to operate with little or no human intervention.
