The Autonomous Systems Laboratory is a research group focused on the
provision of technology for robust autonomy.
If you've read anything at all about Autonomous
Systems (AS), you'll probably know at least three things: AS
are the most exciting target for technical research, AS can be really, I mean really, complicated and lastly ASs are absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive in effort.

While ASLab is set to change all that it is not so different
from the normal models for academic research. But, in a sense, we do
all our activities from an industrial-biased stance. We want to develop
technology for autonomous systems in the real world, so they will free
humans from supervising them once they're up and running. They will
self-manage.

ASLab Research Lines:
- Integrated control architectures
- Model-based control systems
- Ontologies for autonomous systems
- Development processes for complex controllers
- Reusable control components
- Real-time middleware and platforms for distributed control
- Rettargetability of embedded control components
- Technology of systems self-awareness
- Philosophical implications of the technology of self-aware machines
Ongoing/Recent research projects:
- HUMANOBS: Humanoids that Learn Socio-communicative Skills by Imitation
- ICEA: Integrating cognition, emotion and autonomy
- GENESYS: A Generic Architecture for Embedded Systems
- COMPARE: A Component approach for real-time and embedded
