While autonomous vehicles are beginning to criss-cross our roads with a satisfactory level of safety, the situation is quite different in open environments such as fields, forests or disaster zones, where much remains to be done. In order to field-test algorithms and hardware, U2IS researchers are currently designing a robotics platform on the site of the ENSTA Paris research center's Yvette battery, which will soon be home to one of Europe's largest drone aviaries, as well as a variety of trails representing a wide range of environments.
