Bálint Vanek, senior researcher at HUN-REN SZTAKI’s Systems and Control Lab and lead researcher of ARNL, participated as a jury member and official rapporteur in a PhD defence at ISAE-Supaero (Higher Institute of Aeronautics and Space) in Toulouse, France. The thesis, titled “Nonlinear Estimation of High Aspect Ratio Aircraft Using Nonlinear Deformation Formulations,” explored estimation strategies for high aspect ratio wings, focusing on advanced nonlinear modelling and observer design – topics that have direct relevance to HUN-REN SZTAKI’s and ARNL’s research on wing shape estimation and active aeroelastic control.

As part of the TKP21-NVA project entitled "Research of Hydrogen-Powered, Cooperative, Unmanned Remote Sensing Devices and the Associated Data Processing Framework", developers Zalán Simon and Botond Gaál tested the indoor positioning system of the Husky unmanned ground vehicle.

Csanád Budai and Tamás Széles, researchers at the National Laboratory for Autonomous Systems (ARNL), coordinated by HUN-REN SZTAKI, competed in Milan at the 22nd F1TENTH Autonomous Grand Prix, held during the 2024 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC 2024), between 16-19 December 2024.

Researchers and developers of ARNL promoted the automotive engineering education with a career guidance programme on 29 November 2024 at the Open Day of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), which attracted more than 6,000 interested students.

Dr. Péter Bauer and Gábor Jevuczó from the HUN-REN SZTAKI Systems and Control Lab presented their research results achieved in the framework of the Autonomous Systems National Laboratory.

The research was introduced to viewers by Dr. Péter Bauer, project leader at Széchenyi University, senior research fellow at HUN-REN SZTAKI, and researcher at the National Laboratory for Autonomous Systems, along with Dr. Antal Hiba, lead researcher at Széchenyi University, research fellow at HUN-REN SZTAKI, and researcher at the National Laboratory for Autonomous Systems.

Researchers at the Autonomous Systems National Laboratory (ARNL) have already raced their RC car in Japan, but at the event on 9 November 2024, the forces between machine and human were also measured in Budapest.

Les Johnson, Chief Technologist at NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, gave a lecture entitled "Solar Sail Propulsion For Exploring the Solar System" at HUN-REN SZTAKI on 24 October 2024 at the invitation of Balázs Németh, lead researcher at ARNL.

As in previous years, researchers of the Autonomous Systems National Laboratory (ARNL) held a spectacular career orientation demonstration on 28 September 2024 in Budapest in the framework of the Ráday Days, the largest meeting of the Danubian Reformed Church District.
