Under the auspices of the Autonomous Systems National Laboratory (ARNL), diversified research is carried out concerning the control of vehicles that belong to a given vehicle-type, as well as concerning the control of vehicles that belong to various different vehicle-types. The latter research area is referred to as cooperative control, an example for this is the ground vehicle – aerial vehicle cooperative control.

The recent test of the forerunner drone equipped with autopilot was a success. The drone was developed jointly by the Széchenyi University of Győr (SZE) and the ELKH Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI). The autonomous and camera stabilisation functions worked flawlessly in all the tests performed, so the device is now ready for targeted testing in urban environment.

The SZEnergy student racing team of Széchenyi István University achieved 4th place in the Shell Eco-marathon Autonomous Programming Competition (APC). The team members were welcomed at the Vehicle Industry Research Centre. The university, which is at the forefront of engineering disciplines, is committed to providing practice-oriented training and supporting talent.
