Our Research in Intelligent and Networked Systems

Research in terrestrial and fixed earth-space communications is one of the longest established activities within the University. The main focus of this activity has been in radio spectrum management and optimisation, and the understanding the underlying physics of electromagnetic wave propagation. Research in control and robotics concentrates on mobile robotics and the application of artificial intelligence to provide advanced solutions to practical problems.

The research and knowledge transfer includes the following areas:
