Within the cycle of CEA Seminars, RoboCity2030 organizes at UC3M the seminar of Professor Pedro Albertos entitled “Control de trayectorias en sistemas no lineales” (Trajectory control in nonlinear systems, seminar in Spanish). The event will take place in the 4.0E01 room of the EPS of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Leganés) on March, 31 at 11:00.

It is also possible to attend the presentation in streaming (registration).

The last 25 years have seen a huge advance in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones. SESAR, the European Union’s Digital Single Sky technology pillar, has given a figure for the future: 400 000 commercial and government drones will be flying over European airspace by 2035, but it could be more.
