The centre has two fully equipped research facilities. It has one of the largest indoor testing areas in London. With fitted opti-track motion tracking systems in this area, running of multi-platform tests for both drones and ground vehicles can be achieved smoothly. In addition to seven drones, the centre is in custody of two mobile ground robots equipped with the latest sensors like the Velodyne Puck lidar and Zed cameras. The centre also possesses three robotic manipulators from top sellers like: Sawyer, Kinova, and Franka. The centre engages in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications with world-class goggle kits. The centre has High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters for Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. All these and lots more.
