Unmanned Systems Group
Introduction
The focus Unmanned Systems Group is to not only strengthen the indigenous unmanned systems development to four local defence industry but also to provide technology–based solutions to local disaster management organizations.
For defence applications, the research group has developed multiple UGVs for applications including target engagement, surveillance and IED detection and disposal. For the disaster management and consumer industry, the research group have developed UGVs for fire–fighting, high–voltage power lines and COVID-19 disinfection.
