Mandela Autonomous Operations Group

The MandelaUni Autonomous Operations (MAO) Group, part of the Advanced Mechatronic Technology Centre (AMTC) in EBET, focuses on remotely piloted aircraft systems that include Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). MAO offers new research and development opportunities for students wanting to focus on autonomous systems related to marine research, such as airborne and underwater drone technology. Further research will take place into using long range, fixed-wing drones to survey mammals in the open ocean.
