PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
English language Interdepartmental Postgraduate Program “Aerial Autonomous Systems”
The Interdepartmental Postgraduate Program in Autonomous Aerial Systems aims to comprehend the fundamental concepts, principles, and technologies, as well as delve into advanced methods of analysis, design, optimization, and control of autonomous systems (unmanned vehicles). It integrates various areas of Engineering sciences, with particular emphasis on their application in innovative, wide-ranging applications including, among others, agricultural and topographic observations, forest area surveillance, prevention and assistance in natural disasters, Civil Protection, and cargo transportation.
The purpose of the MSc program is to equip students with advanced interdisciplinary skills required for the design, performance, optimization, operational utilization, and evaluation of the technical and economic sustainability of unmanned vehicle systems.
Within this framework, students will acquire specialized knowledge governing contemporary autonomous systems, characterized by interdisciplinary aspects, thus broadening the scope of the MSc program.
The expected learning outcomes and qualifications of those who successfully complete the program are estimated to be:
- Advancement of knowledge and development of research in the scientific and technological field of autonomous systems.
- Equipping graduates with the necessary knowledge required for their absorption into a demanding, rapidly changing environment, characterized by interdisciplinary features, as demanded by the new conditions prevailing worldwide.
- Coverage of knowledge for research and teaching needs in the broad field of design and construction, control, telecommunications, operational functioning, innovative mapping methods, and position determination through the combination of modern
- Preparation for postgraduate studies at the doctoral
