Improved accuracy and robustness in drone localisation: Award of Excellence for Alessandro Fornasier

Alessandro Fornasier’s work involves helping robots and drones to navigate the world. As part of his PhD project, he used the theory of ‘equivariant systems’ to develop localisation algorithms that are more robust and accurate. In recognition of his research in the Control of Networked Systems working group, he has now been honoured with the ‘Award of Excellence’ presented by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research.

10 Years Test of Time Award for a publication by Martin Gebser

Mini-helicopters in greenhouses: Research project awarded with recognition award for Houska Prize 2024

Greenhouses are currently not up to date with the latest technology. In order to increase food production there, mini-helicopters could be used in the future. Their task will be to record the condition of the plants 24 hours a day, without GPS and without human assistance. A team of researchers at the University of Klagenfurt is developing the technological foundations for deploying these “flying helpers”. Their project has been nominated for the Houska Prize 2024.
