(PINNs), and transformer models for MRS tasks and scenarios that are adaptable and reusable to exploit
acquired knowledge and tools.
•Develop next-generation autonomous systems for effective, safe, and secure operation during MRS
missions, enhancing overall operational performance.
•Execute simulation-based scenarios using ROS-Gazebo for dataset generation, training, testing, and
evaluation of novel algorithms.
•Implement and field-test state-of-the-art drone fleets using both open-source (Ardupilot/PX4) and
proprietary (DJI) flight controller platforms.
•Provide technical expertise for the development and implementation of multi-robotic systems.
•Collaborate with external partners, including industry and first responder organizations, to evaluate newly
developed technologies in these areas.
•Engage in the preparation of research and/or innovation proposals.
•Prepare reports and EU-funded project deliverables.
